The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce “Conducting Security Assessments of Sites and Facilities.”

Description:

Security assessments are critical in guiding the development of site plans to improve site safety and security. Assessments may also address the construction and renovation of new or existing facilities. 

This course examines the link between site placement, facility design, and criminal activity. Using group exercises, quizzes, and a multimedia approach, the course will provide participants with an understanding of multiple proven crime prevention techniques used in such assessments. The course shall include an overview of processes typically used in site design/placement and techniques for conducting effective risk assessments, including reporting.

The training will culminate in a practical exercise in which participants will work in teams to conduct and report on assessments of a site near the training location.

This training will benefit all law enforcement, crime prevention practitioners, and school or campus facilities staff responsible for understanding security risk assessments.
