The Critical Difference™

Crime Prevention Consulting for Multi-Family Residential Properties

Our security consultants assist residential property management companies & multi-family housing authorities in resolving complex problems of crime and social disorder.

Over the past 28 years, our security consultants have earned a special reputation for success in reducing crime and premises liability in residential communities and multi-family housing.

Since 1992, CIS security consultants have assisted hundreds of residential communities, property management companies, and HOA Master Associations in reducing crime and premises liability and maximizing the value of property investment.

In many cases, our mission is accomplishing through expert application of crime prevention and liability management methods. Our consultants regularly assist clients with matters such as Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), residential property assessments and new acquisitions, crime-free housing certification, expert testimony in premises liability cases, and other services within the scope of well-established doctrine.

And although our consultants are well recognized for their expertise, knowledge is only one facet of our reputation.

Our security consultants have earned unique recognition for achieving success in environments where traditional approaches to residential crime prevention and public safety have failed. When addressing complex and difficult security challenges, knowledge alone is often insufficient. Effective solutions often require an artful combination of expertise, holistic vision, and innovative mindset.

Following is a list of our security consultant services related to crime prevention and liability management in residential communities.

Crime Prevention & Property Risk Assessments

And with the added benefits of increasing property values and profitability due to improved branding and reduced resident turnover rates.

Reclaiming & Rehabiliting High Crime Communities

In the early 1990’s, our security consultants pioneered a unique methodology for reclaiming and rehabilitating high crime communities. The success of our strategy in reducing crime and increasing quality of life in multi-family communities has been extensively documented by police, news media, and academic institutions and is the central theme of two criminal justice textbooks.

Expert Witness Services
