Business Outreach
Strong partnerships with local businesses are an important part of keeping Lone Tree safe. The Police Department works closely with business owners, managers, and employees to share information, prevent crime, and respond to concerns quickly and effectively.
Our business outreach efforts include regular collaboration with theft prevention teams that focus on reducing retail crime and protecting property. We outreach directly with retail businesses to identify patterns, share intelligence, and coordinate proactive efforts to deter and respond to theft. Whether you’re running a small shop or a large retail center, we’re here to support a safe, secure, and successful business environment.
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)
The Lone Tree Police Department participates in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), a multidisciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. CPTED strategies include certified officers reviewing plans of new developments, buildings, or any other proposed structures to be built along with major renovations of existing structures and offering recommendations to prevent crime even before construction begins. The overall objective is to have structures designed with crime prevention tactics incorporated to reduce the probability of crime. CPTED examines various aspects including the creation of space, its use and safety; the locations of land uses; positions of buildings and other structures; interior and exterior design details such as color, lighting, entrances and exits, and landscaping; and users of space and when and how they will use it.
