CPTED Courses – Level 1 and 2 Ottawa and Toronto
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
Security Through Safe Design Inc. (STSD Inc.) is proud to offer both a Basic Level 1 and an Advanced Level 2 CPTED Course in Toronto and Ottawa for 2010.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is based on the premise that “the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear of crime and incidence of crime, and to an improvement in quality of life.” CPTED strategies are ideal for Police Officers, City Planners, City Managers, City Council Members, Architects, Educators, Transit Authority, Security Personnel, Property Managers, Corporate Security or anyone involved in designing, managing or securing neighborhoods, schools, downtown, or buildings. It is an effective way to fight crime, increase safety and security while promoting healthy business.
Implementing CPTED principles reduces the opportunity for crime to occur which has a direct correlation to decreased maintenance costs and risk of civil liability. Not only does it reduce loss and expense, it increases revenue generation from legitimate users.
The main fundamentals of CPTED include – Natural Access Control, Natural Surveillance and Territorial Reinforcement. The Basic Level 1 course will incorporate these fundamentals in various disciplines and provide the participants with an in-depth knowledge of how they can utilize these principles in their work environments. Participants will take part in various class group assignments and benefit from hands on exercises. Each participant will be given a professionally printed workbook containing digital ‘before’ and ‘after’ examples of CPTED strategies. All information covered during the course will be included in the workbook.
The Advanced Level 2 course takes the principles learned in Level 1 and utilizes them in a variety of specific applications and environments. The two day course will incorporate specialized applications for CPTED principles and will focus on CPTED in schools, CPTED in parking, CPTED in banks, and CPTED in interior design. Participants will take part in class group assignments as well as conduct a thorough in-field interior and exterior CPTED audit.
Our professional Team of facilitators is considered experts across Canada and has implemented CPTED strategies in the design and retrofit of many environments including health care facilities, public transit, residential communities, industrial parks, schools, retail industry, parks and many municipal buildings. We have trained numerous professionals across Canada and the United States including hundreds of police officers.

ASIS Toronto – Employment Opportunity and College Placement Area
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010The new employment area actually encompasses two unique areas. One area is for Employers or those offering security industry profession careers is the Registration area. http://asistoronto.org/employers.php Here an employer fills out the required information and this in turn grants the individual the ability to post an employment opportunity. If you can cut, paste and type with word processors you can fill in the information. Once submitted; the employment opportunity is not live right away. A message is sent to the Webmaster for the ASIS Toronto Chapter and after review the post is approved. Upon approval, normally within 24 hrs, the posting is then live on the website.
Employers can now directly submit employment opportunities. There are no limits to how many employment opportunities are available. The registered employer manages their own opportunities by both being able to add new opportunities as well as remove ones that have been filled.
With the website targeting a very specific community; providing an area for Employers to submit employment opportunities brings both awareness of ASIS International and the ASIS Toronto Chapter to those in the industry seeking employment but also Employers who may have heard of ASIS International and are exploring their options on an association to join or commit to.
Similar in function to the Employment Opportunities area is the College Placement area. College Co-ordinators register and then submit college placement opportunities for their students in the Law and Security fields. The placement opportunties are then reviewed by potential employers willing to accept college student placements in their firm.
To register and submit employment opportunities and college placements is free.
