C P T E D The 7th International CPTED
Association conference in Calgary
was by all standards a great success.
With delegates from all over the
globe, the atmosphere was upbeat
and friendly, and the conference
program packed with great material.
While concerns about international
travel kept numbers down a little,
those that braved the falling
temperatures of Calgarys fall (or
autumn, as you wish) were treated to
a truly special event.
While there are always many people
involved in running a conference,
special thanks go to ICA Executive
Director Barry Davidson and his wife,
Diana Stinn, as well as Ray and
Connie Van Dusen, for making
CPTED-2002 such a success.
The social program included a James
Bond night fund raiser, a Canadian
Chapter hospitality evening at a local
Brew Pub, and the official conference
dinner held at an extraordinary
aviation museum.

Fittingly, the theme for the Expo,

, an initiative of the South
Australian Department of Education
and Childrens Services, featured
CPTED on its stand in the Community
Policing exhibit.
The School Care
exhibit was intended to provide an
opportunity for younger members of
the community to be exposed to the
concepts and principles of CPTED.
This followed on from a previous
initiative in which 14 to 15 year old
students were given basic training in
CPTED and undertook surveys of
areas of their school.
Mr David Wuttke from School Care
said, All too often we adults forget
that kids have a different perspective
to adults, we feel that its important
for them to be given an opportunity to
influence their own environment.
Two CPTED reviews undertaken by
children from Parafield Gardens High
School were featured on the
exhibit (

also included a focus on what were

CPTED rules
police expo features cpted initiative Right now we have two exciting
projects well in hand. First,
meaningful certification of CPTED
practitioners is now a reality. One of
the first goals of the ICA was to
promulgate a program that
identified CPTED practitioners who
not only have training but realistic
and practical experience in applying
principles that are often confusing
and dependent upon context.
Several certifications have been
around for years, but they have
generally indicated only that the
individual has been trained in some
specific way; the elements of
experience and application have
been missing.
To remedy this, the ICA has
produced a true certification
program, one that relies upon core
competencies as well as experience.
Those certified under the ICA
p r o g r a m w i l l h a v e t r u l y
demonstrated their abilities to utilize
CPTED in practical situations. The
process is available to everyone on
the ICA website.
Our second new achievement is
the upcoming Annual Conference in
Amsterdam in September. For the
first time, our International event
will take place in Europe, after
spending time in Australia and North
America.
Truly, this is an
INTERNATIONAL organization,
whatever the practice of CPTED is
called on any continent. The
t e n t a t i v e s c h e d u l e f o r t h e
Amsterdam event is ambitious and
enticing, and appears headed for
unqualified success. This can only
add to the momentum of the ICA
and to the achievements of the past
successful conferences.
I strongly encourage all members to
solicit new members, and to take
a d v a n t a g e o f b o t h t h e s e
accomplishments. There are others,
too, such as the pending issuance of
the second edition of the ICA
Journal, and additional content on
the website and newsletter. New
members of the Board of Directors
have added incalculable expertise to
our efforts, and their work, as well as
the outstanding contributions of
t h o s e w h o h a v e p r o d u c e d
Certification and past and future
Conferences, makes this an
organization with measurable and
professional content.

A recent project to develop nationally
endorsed competency standards in
Australia is nearing completion.
The aim of the project was to produce
a set of materials that would reflect
various roles undertaken by crime
prevention practitioners around
Australia and that could be used by
the broad range of industry sectors
with an interest in crime prevention.
