The Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principle is widely used by security and law enforcement agencies across the world as a proven tool for crime prevention. It’s a methodology for considering how the environment and building design aspects can influence the security of your property.
A design strategy to keep intruders easily observable, making them less likely to commit criminal acts.

Designing streets, footpaths, building entrances and gateways to physically guide people through a designated route.
Deterioration and lack of maintenance of an area can indicate to intruders that a greater tolerance of disorder is allowed.
CPTED improvements alone will not address many of the issues being experienced by business and governments today. For example, the installation of new fences won’t bring any improvements if gates are not closed each night. Security failings can be related to design and process, structure and governance.
That’s why we take a logical and holistic approach when undertaking CPTED reviews for our clients. Our recommendations include additional context and recommendations that you might consider to be beyond the scope of traditional CPTED reports but are critical to the success of the review, and in preventing crime.
