About NCPI

The National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) at the University of Louisville is an internationally recognized training institute that provides crime prevention and security-related training. NCPI offers training on security topics that will appeal to a diverse group of individuals and organizations.

 One of the goals of the current director of NCPI, Marianna Perry, who was appointed in February of 2009, is to revitalize the institute and bring a new energy to the NCPI by appealing to a wider base of individuals and organizations who are interested in increasing their awareness of crime prevention.  The goals of NCPI were redefined to meet the changing needs of not only law enforcement, military personnel and security professionals, but also to include business owners and managers, public officials, government agencies and members of the community.

 In addition to educational programs, NCPI also conducts Physical Security and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) Assessments to help organizations and individuals identify security risks and vulnerabilities.  Research indicates that if security risks are known and action is taken to manage them, there is a significant advantage in helping to prevent crime.  NCPI fully endorses and educates individuals to take a proactive approach to crime prevention and security.  Physical Security and CPTED Assessments are used to define security requirements for the design of new buildings or for the retrofit of existing facilities. Although the scope and level of each assessment varies, its goal remains the same--to determine the acceptable level of security protection needed.
