INNISFAIL - RCMP will be presenting a crime prevention seminar on May 16 with the focus on the successful Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) program.
The May 16 seminar at the Innisfail Library/Learning Centre begins at 6 p.m. There is no cost to attend this information session.
"Property crimes are a priority for the Alberta RCMP in its crime reduction strategies," said Innisfail RCMP Sgt. Lori Eiler. "There is an ongoing focus on targeting and putting a stop to the activities of repeat property crime offenders."
Eiler said CPTED is an approach to crime prevention based on principles that can be applied easily and effectively.
She said the goal of CPTED is to use physical space to impact criminal decisions and behaviour, while improving safety, productivity and profit.
This program has both residential and commercial applications and works toward removing the opportunity for crime to occur, said Eiler.
