About this Event

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a crime prevention initiative designed specifically to help managers, residents, police, and other agencies work together to keep illegal and nuisance activity off rental property.

The unique three phase program ensures the crime prevention goal, while maintaining an approach which is resident friendly, yet effective in reducing criminal behavior. The program educates the owners, managers, and their tenants to improve the livability of the community.
