ICA Mission Statement

"To create safer environments and improve the quality of life through the use of CPTED principles and strategies."

The ICA offers its members access to a database of information, articles and tools that may be useful when approaching projects.

What is CPTED?

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (pronounced sep-ted) is based on a theory that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the incidence and fear of crime and an improvement in the quality of life. In other words, if a site is laid out well, the likelihood of it being targeted for a crime may be reduced.

The ICA also meets at an annual conference that consists of educational workshops, poster sessions and networking - invaluable to anybody working in the crime prevention field.
