Alcohol Awareness Campaign Materials

In the fall of 2017, CPD's Community Livability Unit unveiled an alcohol awareness educational campaign in partnership with the Benton County Health Department and Oregon State University.  The partnership worked with the Madison Avenue Collective, a local marketing and design firm, to develop an educational campaign which would resonate with people ages 18 to 25.

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (C.P.T.E.D. pronounced as "Sep-ted") is a proactive crime fighting technique in which the proper design and effective use of parks, open spaces, buildings and surroundings lead to a reduction in crime as well as an improvement in the quality of life for the entire community. While CPTED principles can reduce the opportunity for crime, additional programs should be implemented to tackle the root cause of the crimes affecting the areas where the audits are performed.
