Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Gated Communities
Today many homeowners are separating themselves from criminals by residing in gated communities. By definition, gated communities use access control points in order to privatize what would otherwise be public spaces. This segregation from the general population tends to reduce crime, stabilize property values, and increases a sense of community. However, some argue that gated communities have a negative effect on society because the affluent are insulating themselves from interacting with individuals belonging to a different socio-economic class resulting in a more closed, segregated society.
Would-be criminals prefer to attack a “soft target” with easy access and easy egress. Because of access control, gated communities tend to be unfamiliar to criminals and escape after the crime presents a greater risk. For instance, a home with no natural or man-made barrier, a lack of lighting, and no access control is much more vulnerable and presents a more attractive target to a criminal than a security-minded gated community with access control, surveillance cameras, and quality lighting.
Gated communities are an example of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), which is not a new concept. The castles of old used similar principles in their architecture and design with their moats, drawbridges, and watchtowers. Gated communities of today tend more towards hedgerows, swing arms, and CCTV. Not only were castles fortresses, they also served as community centers where people would trade and interact with each other on a daily basis. This type of continued interaction within a community tends to build better relationships among neighbors and creates an environment in which intruders are more easily identified so that action can be taken.
In order to increase the effectiveness of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, a gated community should have a clearly defined perimeter such has a fence or high hedge row so that anyone who wishes to enter the community must do so through the access control point. The perimeter is the first line of defense for the community regarding trespassers. The perimeter should be well maintained, free of debris, and disrepair. The perimeter should also be lit, under observation, and patrolled.
Within the perimeter of the community, common areas can be created within a cluster of homes. This further builds a sense of pride within the community and creates a “see something, say something” environment. The common areas should also be well lit and maintained, broken lights, litter, and decay often tend to encourage criminal behavior. However, when common areas are respected and cared for, criminal behavior. However, when common areas are respected and cared for, criminal behavior will tend to dwindle. Community dog parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas can all be constructed in this manner.
Semi-public areas such as streets can be casually monitored and controlled by the community with speed bumps, park benches, and good lighting. Gated communities are home to many small children, speed bumps will especially control speeders keeping kids safer. While well-lit, clean, observable streets within a tight-knit community make it easier to deter and detect potential predators.

Graduates will get a security certificate that is required as part of the application process as soon as trainees complete the security guard training online. The online training is held weekly and taught by a live security instructor that teaches the state-required program. Our security modules are broken down in various subjects that include access control, patrol techniques, security laws, and liabilities, emergency response, and additional modules. Students can sign up online anytime and choose the dates that meet their needs. Students can likewise reschedule days missed at a later time to make up any days missed. Considering that COVID 19 occurred, the state permitted the security guard training online for trainees who were looking to work in private security.
