Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) Training Course

As part of the Windsor Essex Regional Community Safety & Well-Being (WERCSWB) Plan, the City of Windsor and the County of Essex is partnering with Windsor Police Service on this CPTED workshop.

CPTED recognizes that planners, engineers, architects, social workers, and law enforcement have the ability to create both public and private spaces that possess an enhanced level of safety and security. This is achieved by designing and managing the use of the physical environment so that it positively influences human behaviour and reduces potential for criminal or undesirable activity.

You are invited to this training course to learn how to prevent opportunities for crime, change the way you see and use your neighbourhood, and learn personal safety tips. You will also actively participate in both a sample Neighbourhood Safety & Crime Prevention Walk on the second day of the workshop and by carrying out a small group assessment of a neighbourhood space to apply CPTED concepts.

This training course will be facilitated by Barry Horrobin, who is a CPTED expert and is the Windsor Police Service Director of Planning & Physical Resources. Individuals will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion and ask questions of Barry along the way.

The two-day training course will take place on October 28 & 29, 2025 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at Windsor Hall in the Caboto Club (2175 Parent Avenue, Windsor, ON N8X 4K2). Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Registration is free. Do not miss this opportunity to learn how to make your community a safer place!
