Crime Free Conference
Kansas City, Missouri
June 29 - July 1, 2009
If you can only attend one crime prevention conference this year...attend
this one! This is the eleventh annual conference featuring
the highly effective Crime Free Programs. The 2009 conference
is hosted by the Mid-America
Crime Free, Inc in Kansas
City, Missouri .
The
first ten Crime Free Association conferences were a resounding
success. See conference photos from 2007 Mesa,
Arizona; from 2006 Albuquerque,
New Mexico; and from 2005 Riverside,
California.
We invite you to join together with Crime Free Coordinators, police
officers, crime prevention practitioners, security specialists,
property owners and managers as we work together towards a goal
of a Crime Free tomorrow.

This conference will have information for you regardless if you're
new to crime prevention or an experienced professional. Have you
tried to implement a targeted crime prevention program before and
found that crime statistics didn't go down? The Crime Free programs
are different! Each program has shown a statistical reduction in
police calls for service (as tracked by the Mesa, Arizona Police
Department). The programs have been implemented in many parts of
the World...and they work!
Who Should Attend?
This training is ideal for law enforcement, business owners,
and managers that deal with rental property like apartments, condominiums,
hotels, motels, mini-storage, and manufactured-housing. Regardless
of your experience level, you are guaranteed to learn something
new at this conference.
For interested law enforcement professionals, there will be certification
courses taught. This will be a train-the-trainer format
taught by professionals currently running the programs in their
jurisdiction.
For experienced professionals, who are already been running one or more programs, we will offer development courses with cutting edge information and improvements that have been created by the various jurisdictions and communities. These classes will fill in the gaps in your training and take you to a new advanced level.
For the business professional and property owner/manager, learn how to make your business safer and how to work with the police. Everyone wins when we work together!
