The Police Crime Prevention Academy are running a number of free RIBA Approved CPD sessions on Secured by Design between February and March 2024
The Secured by Design CPD sessions, open to all architects firms, will run between 12.30pm and 1.30pm on Friday 23rd February and Friday 22nd March.
The Police Secured by Design initiative, which operates across a wide range of building sectors including residential, education, health, transport, commercial, retail, sport and leisure, promotes security standards for a wide range of applications and products.
This CPD will explore Secured by Design
Topics covered include how the scheme is implemented and successes in previous development projects, terminology and how to find secured products that have achieved police preferred specification.
These principles have been proven to reduce crime risk by up to 87%, by combining standards of physical security and principles of crime prevention through environmental design.
By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
Secured by Design as a proven police scheme which reduces crime and creates safer communities
Relevant legislation, policy & guidance
Secured by Design as more current than ADQ and other documents referencing security and safer communities
An overview of property crime trends
An evaluation of why crime occurs
How the Secured by Design scheme is implemented
How an open, welcoming and safe environment can be achieved by incorporating crime prevention design into the layout and landscaping of the immediate surroundings in subtle ways that will be barely noticeable to residents
Successes in previous development projects & how developments that meet the Secured by Design award are more sustainable
How SBD keeps parallel with current crime trends and methods
