  PAYMENT: All guests must provide a card when making a reservation. This card will only be charged if a guest does not show up on their arrival date. Otherwise, all guests are asked for a method of payment upon arrival that will pay for their stay. Alternatively, to pre-arrange charges for a stay, please follow the instructions below.

  If an attendee will not have the physical card paying for their room at check in (or would prefer to otherwise pre-arrange payment), they should have the attached authorization form completed and sent to our Group Coordinator, Raye (RaToya.M.Sellers@Hilton.com) prior to arrival. Reservations need made prior to sending the authorization form, and those specific confirmation numbers should be noted on it. A copy of the card with all but last 4 digits blacked out must also be sent with the form.

  TAXES: If an attendee is claiming exemption from any taxes on their room, the corresponding exemption form(s) must be provided upon or prior to arrival. If these forms accompany an authorization form, they can be emailed together to Raye. The method of payment (check or card) must match the organization listed on form(s) – taxes cannot be waived from cash payments or on a personal card. There are 3 types of taxes in Dublin and it is up to the paying organization to decide which ones they are claiming exemption from.

  HOSTED BY

  
  

  

  
  

  The Ohio Crime Prevention Association will be hosting a three-day Introduction to Crime Prevention Course for sworn and non-sworn professionals interested in beginning crime prevention initiatives or those interested in refreshing their knowledge. Effective Crime Prevention has been seen as a key strategy in reducing crime and violence in our communities. This comprehensive course is designed to address local community needs ranging from physical security to violence prevention. The course is tailored to the needs of today’s crime prevention and community policing practitioners, and places great emphasis on programmatic initiatives giving the practitioners the knowledge, tools and resources to do their jobs successfully. 

  
  

  Crime Prevention is the anticipation, recognition and the appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it. Crime Prevention means working partnership, rather than in isolation, and working with concerned citizens to address ways to prevent crime and drug abuse. It means communities and individual citizens learning how to protect themselves and to work together to keep their neighborhoods crime and drug free. It means law enforcement working with communities, businesses, and service organizations to develop action plans based on information about crime and other problems.

  
  

  TOPICS TO BE COVERED INCLUDE:

  
  

  History & Theory of Crime Prevention: Historical overview, theory, and practice
