RECOMMENDATION
Discuss expectations on the implementation of CPTED principles into the culture of the City.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
In a general sense, the city has viewed CPTED as a tool for law enforcement. The increases in crime have brought the value of CPTED to our business community, primarily through the efforts of PD and the Chamber of Commerce. During this year's budget adoption, the Council provided additional resources to integrate CPTED principles more comprehensively. Our staff and I strongly support this idea, and we have worked with the Chamber to host a 40-hour training session in Billings May 22 - 26, 2023. We want to listen to the Council's perspective, particularly in how and when you want to see these principles integrated into our adopted policies, rules and regulations
STAKEHOLDERS
The improvement of safety impacts our entire community.
