CPTED
Training & Technical Services
Carter & Carter
Associates offer a variety of courses. Each course includes a basic agenda.
This agenda is then customized for the client to include a variety of
specialty sessions or to focus on a particular CPTED application such
as mixed-use urban redevelopment, schools, parks or residential areas.
Standard applications and case studies are used, but each course is customized
to reflect physical, social and economic conditions of the client community
or project. The client or hosting agency may choose sites or areas for
field assessment exercises. A one-hour executive briefing, suitable for
elected and appointed officials and supervisory personnel, is optional
and can occur at any time during the course. Each course ends with a facilitated
session on class-identified implementation initiatives.
Basic
CPTED Course
The Basic CPTED course is a two-day to five-day
curriculum designed to appeal to both newcomers and those with prior CPTED
training and experience. The course includes the basic CPTED concept and
principles, technical sessions, and a number of optional sessions of special
interest to the host, such as urban redevelopment, schools, parks, housing
projects, neighborhoods and implementation.
CPTED
and Schools
(Through the National Crime Prevention Council)
Carter & Carter developed for the National Crime
Prevention Council a school-based CPTED curriculum titled Safer
Schools and Communities by Design: The CPTED Approach. The
curriculum and manual were completed and field tested in August, 2000.
Arrangements for training must be made through the National Crime Prevention
Council. The program is designed for a multi-disciplined class of school
administrators, staff, school resource officers, teachers, parents and
students. Hosting jurisdictions may choose one or two schools for the
guided field assessment exercise. Contact Joanna Cassarino at (202) 261-4170
or jcassarino@ncpc.org.
CPTED
and Parks
Carter & Carter Associates developed the first-ever
CPTED training for the National Park Service and U.S. Park Police. This
custom program identifies public safety issues and provides advanced CTPED
strategies relevant to urban parks, monuments and memorials, hiker/biker
trails and wilderness areas. A special session on the use of CPTED as
the first line of defense against terrorism may be included. Hosting agencies
may choose three sites or areas for class assessment exercises.
Residential
CPTED
CPTED can be applied to all types of housing
projects and residential areas. This course is customized for the client
and can focus on any combination of older single-family neighborhoods,
public or private multi-family projects, mixed-use areas or the overall
neighborhood. It also includes assessing the community and the use of
advanced "Community CPTED" strategies. The client may choose one or two
areas for guided class assessment exercises.
CPTED
and Urban Redevelopment
Carter & Carter Associates began their CPTED career
by incorporating CPTED into the planning and design processes for redevelopment
areas in the City of Sarasota, Florida. Their award-winning task team
and planning projects are nationally recognized and serve as a model of
implementation. This course includes planning processes, community assessment,
and development of improvement strategies, task
teams, design guidelines, review processes,
resolutions and ordinances. It is specifically designed for multi-disciplined
teams which may include planners, law enforcement officers, designers,
engineers, building officials, community redevelopment officials and community
activists, among others. This course
includes advanced "Community CPTED" concepts which are compatible with
"New Urbanism" principles, "Smart Growth " initiatives and "Livable City"
concepts, and is popular with community groups active in downtown redevelopment
and in neighborhood revitalization.
CPTED
Assessments and Consultations
Carter & Carter Associates has developed a standardized
approach for assessing individual sites and areas. The assessment takes
into consideration physical, social, economic and policy components that
affect the design and safe use of the environment. Applications have included
downtowns, neighborhoods, schools, college campuses, public and private
housing projects, hotels, and parks. Assessments are documented and supplemented
with digital photographs. Recommendations are developed and prioritized
based upon risk, need and cost. The written report is suitable for assistance
with funding requests and policy decisions.
Carter
& Carter Associates are available to assist planners, architects, landscape
architects, engineers, law enforcement officers and others with the development
of recommendations to increase citizen comfort and safety in a wide variety
of environments. This may include the development of general or specific
design and use guidelines.
Stan
Carter is available for assistance and expert testimony for selected premise
liability lawsuits.
CPTED
Implementation
Carter & Carter Associates provides assistance
to communities interested in developing a CPTED program for their jurisdiction
or a specified geographic area. This assistance can include the development
of multi-disciplined teams, implementation plans, resolutions, design
guidelines, ordinances, policies and educational materials for the general
public. It may be a part of or an addition to a CPTED training course.
