In Bloom with Security Management Magazine: Schreiber Explains How Greenery and Landscaping Work with CPTED

Safeguards Consulting is pleased to announce that our Founder, Mark Schreiber, has recently contributed to another article for ASIS International and Security Management! 

In their most recent article, Schreiber and Sara Mosqueda are joined by Michael White, Kelly Prebble, Herb Ubbens, and Sarah Poskanzer. Together, they discuss Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, with a focus on landscaping as a key component in improving security. They also emphasize how thoughtful landscaping can deter criminal activity and make communities safer. Later the group discusses key strategies including using vegetation strategically to improve visibility, opting for plants that are less conducive to hiding, and maintaining clear sightlines. However, their article emphasizes the significance of regular maintenance to ensure that landscaping effectively contributes to a secure space.  

Our team hopes you enjoy their most recent article and gain a better understanding of how to incorporate CPTED principles into landscaping to not only improve the security of your facility, but also the overall aesthetic and usability of your area.
