Why work with CRI?

Safety planning should not be reserved for organizations with a large security budget. The Crime Reduction Institute provides practical, site-specific threat and vulnerability assessments that schools, churches, and businesses can use and afford. 

Local. We know this ground.

CRI is based in Central Texas. Assessments are done by people who understand local campuses, business districts, and the

way threats actually show up here. CRI will never use a template flown in from somewhere else. You get a partner who can walk the site,

talk with your staff, and stay available after the report is delivered.

Nonprofit. The mission is the work.

CRI is a nonprofit. Low-cost assessments are not a loss leader for a bigger contract. The point is to put a usable safety

review within reach of small private schools, charter schools, churches, and local businesses that cannot hire a national firm.

Nine years of experience. Nine years of hands-on work in crime prevention, CPTED, and site security inform every assessment. Recommendations come from field practice, how people move, where risk concentrates, and what a site can realistically change, not from a checklist alone.

Customized to fit any budget. Every site is different, and so is every budget. We set the scope with you: a focused walk-through and priority list, or a fuller written assessment with phased recommendations. You get what the site needs, priced so the work can happen, not a

one-size package.
