There are a number of compelling reasons for law enforcement to <br /> be involved in CPTED: <br /> 1. CPTED concepts have been proven to enhance community <br /> activities while reducing crime problems. <br /> 2. CPTED concepts are fundamental to traditional law <br /> enforcement values, in terms of helping the community to <br /> function properly. <br /> 3 . CPTED required the unique information sources and inherent <br /> knowledge of the community that is endemic to the law <br /> enforcement profession. <br /> 4 . CPTED problems and issues bear a direct relationship to <br /> repeat calls for service and crime producing situations <br /> 5. CPTED methods and techniques can directly improve property <br /> values, business profitability, and industrial productivity, <br /> thereby enhancing local tax bases. <br /> CPTED can and will work for the law enforcement agencies and <br /> cities if it adopts the attitude of "What are you trying to <br /> achieve, and how can we help you do it better?" A successful <br /> parade, major event, school, hotel, shopping center, industrial/ <br /> commercial development or neighborhood has less crime problems <br /> when the CPTED concepts are utilized. <br /> A growing number of law enforcement agencies and cities are <br /> adopting CPTED concepts. It is working for them and it is <br /> improving their image in the community. <br /> The Lino Lakes Police Department believes that by becoming <br /> involved in the planning process, we can reduce crimes committed <br /> in new areas. Preventing crime is one of the primary functions <br /> of the police department and CPTED brings us one step closer to <br /> this goal. <br />
