US Air Force Crime Prevention Course

For fourteen years, the College of Justice and Safety (formerly the College of Law Enforcement) has been providing crime prevention training to non-commissioned officers in the United States Air Force.  The course is designed to address the necessary technical components required in the development and implementation of various crime prevention programs and techniques. Both a theoretical and practical examination of crime prevention will be presented in the course. Emphasis will be placed upon a law enforcement and public safety approach to crime prevention as well as a loss prevention and security approach.

Students will be provided with the fundamental information needed for developing the human, financial and physical resource objectives necessary for a successful crime prevention program.  Access control and crime prevention strategies, (i.e. risk analysis, vulnerability assessments, and target hardening), will be presented to the student and will include discussions on the use and /or installation of locks, intrusion detection systems, lightening and perimeter security devices.  Upon completion of the course, each student will have been exposed to various methods of instruction and course requirements directed towards developing, improving and fostering innate, intellectual, and practical administrative abilities in crime prevention.

All course attendees including Air Force, Reserve, Air National guard security policemen and DOD civilian personnel will be registered as visiting, non-degree students in the Assets Protection and Security Program. The course will be offered two times per year and consist of approximately 25 students with a yearly total of 50 students. The classes will be held Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays, for an equivalent of 8 classroom hours daily on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University. The classroom facilities shall be located in the Stratton building of the College of Justice and Safety. The course duration will be three weeks with students arriving one day prior to the class start date and departure on the day of the course completion.
