Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Consulting
At Denali Defense Solutions, we bring a unique perspective to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Our team of former federal, state, and local law enforcement professionals, as well as military and intelligence experience, combines decades of real-world experience with cutting-edge CPTED principles to create safer, more secure environments.
CPTED is the strategic design and effective use of the built environment to reduce crime and enhance quality of life. When implemented correctly, CPTED not only deters criminal activity but also increases community confidence and improves overall well-being.
Our CPTED Approach
Drawing from our extensive law enforcement backgrounds, we apply four core CPTED principles:
1. Natural Surveillance: We optimize sight lines and visibility to increase the perception that potential offenders are visible.
2. Natural Access Control: We guide the flow of people through a space using strategic design elements.
3. Territorial Reinforcement: We employ design features that create a sense of ownership and responsibility among legitimate users.
4. Maintenance and Management: We ensure that the physical environment remains well-maintained, discouraging criminal activity.
Practical CPTED Solutions
Our team at Denali Defense Solutions translates these principles into actionable strategies:
- Strategically placing windows to overlook vulnerable areas
- Implementing natural barriers, such as thorny bushes, to deter break-ins
- Designing clear boundaries with fences, walkways, and signage
- Incorporating positive activity generators like recreational facilities
- Maintaining open sight lines with well-trimmed vegetation
