New York State Crime Prevention Coalition

The New York State Crime Prevention Coalition (NYS CPC) is looking to conduct several regional one-day training sessions in different locations within New York State. We need your assistance.

If your agency is willing to provide the Coalition a training or conference room that could accommodate 25 or more people, the Coalition would like to come to your area to provide a morning and afternoon training session to police and citizens in your area.

Training topics for the day could include internet safety for kids, identity theft prevention, workplace violence prevention, Neighborhood Watch, our new Campus Crime Prevention Course or any other crime prevention topic of interest in your area.

Additionally, the NYSCPC is looking for locations to accommodate one week training courses in either Basic Crime Prevention or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), which are New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) certified programs.

If you feel you can assist the NYSCPC, please contact your Regional Coalition Representative or Sgt. Kern Swoboda for more information.

Additionally, if you haven't already completed the New York State Crime Prevention Coalition Satisfaction Survey, please go to the link above to take the survey.

Thank you, and stay safe!

The New York State Crime Prevention Coalition

• Founded in 1987, the New York State Crime Prevention Coalition is one of the country’s largest crime prevention associations. The not-for-profit (501- C) organization is driven by a 15-person, volunteer board that ensures statewide representation with its six executive officers and nine area representatives.

• NYS CPC’s membership includes representatives from local, county and state law enforcement; public and private businesses; residents and community organizations; educational leaders, and others interested in reducing crime and criminal opportunity.

• Crime Prevention is important to the quality of life in our neighborhoods, communities and the State of New York. Prevention is the best and most cost effective method of fighting crime.

• If the crime never happens, the cost of the trauma to the victim and community and the costs of investigation, court and incarceration are eliminated.

• There is a lot of publicity and discussion about the extent of crime; homicide, rape, drug sales, victimization of children, white-collar crime, burglary and petty theft. Many say that it’s just too big a problem and that one person can’t make a difference.

• This is not true. Throughout the state individuals are reaching out, joining together, getting to know their neighbors and taking individual and collective action against violence and crime.

• Businesses and residents are getting involved in community activities and working with law enforcement to reduce crime in their neighborhoods and prevent victimization.
