  The Ohio Crime Prevention Association will be hosting a two-day training opportunity for law enforcement  professionals interested in learning a fundamental approach to creating effective security surveys.  By developing a systematic methodology to risk assessment, the officer can effectively standardize his processes while still customizing the instrument for the individual client.  This course is designed with the Crime Prevention Specialist and community policing officer in mind.  This specialized training will help officers develop an understanding of what should and should not be included in a survey and give them a practical means of effectively communicating their findings to clients.
