Sorry - Trying to add a little humor to the forum..... If you had young kids in the house about 5 to 7 years ago, you would have been very well versed in this cartoon.

Thank goodness I didn't... It was sort-of ..... cute? Did have G-Kids though... Thank goodness they weren't into that one! I think I would have had to gone postal on the TV! :beatdhrs

Mule, I will not be there but I hope you will have a great time and most importantly, safe travels.

Well, I'm back at the office and I have to admit this was a very interesting class. For those of you who do not know what CPTED is ...it means Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. It appears to be a real good concept for detering crime.

I prefer CPTHVP (Crime Prevention Through High Velocity Projectiles).

Great concept for fire departments as well.......however, the planners and developers tend to want the most bang for the buck - so very little clearances and alot of trees and shrubs to hide the development.

(At least here -where I is)

Some AHJ's have made CPTED required while other have just adopted ordinances and and can request changes. One concept was the type of required lighting. Some lights will give onlookers a different color than what it really is. Like a red car may look brown under certain lights. Someone robs a store and the description would be a brown car....actually red.

It really was an interesting class. Our jurisdiction has adopted an ordinance, not mandatory but prefered. Our first review and the PD wanted 30 additional lights. That didn't happen! Gotta use some common sense too!
