Earning a CPTED Professional Designation (CPD) credential from NICP helps them apply CPTED strategies, develop community-wide programs, and collaborate with other municipal and community partners.
Design and planning professionals, such as architects, landscape architects, and urban planners, can incorporate CPTED strategies into their projects to create safe and sustainable communities. Applying CPTED during the design phase of neighborhoods, schools, commercial buildings, and other structures reduces the fear and incidence of crime, supports businesses, and reduces calls for service. Having a CPD credential distinguishes them from the competition, meets CPTED requirements, and enhances credibility.
Security professionals, including corporate security, physical security, and cyber security experts, can utilize CPTED strategies to reduce the opportunity for crime and enhance security in critical infrastructure facilities, corporate buildings, and campuses. Collaborating with architects and engineers during the design phase is essential to creating safe, sustainable environments. A CPD credential demonstrates competence in applying CPTED principles, meets client requirements, and differentiates professionals from competitors.
Architects, engineers, and security professionals involved in designing critical infrastructure facilities can benefit from CPTED strategies. Applying CPTED during the design phase helps create secure, sustainable environments and reduces crime and future calls for service. Federal agencies and organizations increasingly require CPTED training and recommendations, making the CPD credential valuable for meeting these requirements and demonstrating expertise.
Professionals involved in designing healthcare facilities, such as architects, engineers, and security personnel, can use CPTED strategies to reduce crime and improve safety for patients and staff. Incorporating CPTED during the design phase or applying it to existing structures creates a safe and healthy built environment. Healthcare organizations often require CPTED training and recommendations, and having a CPD credential helps meet these requirements and stands out in the industry.
Architects, engineers, and facility managers in schools and campuses can apply CPTED strategies to enhance safety and reduce crime.

Many states and school districts now require CPTED training and recommendations, making the CPD credential essential for compliance and professional recognition.
Public health professionals can apply CPTED strategies to improve community health and reduce crime. By collaborating with architects, engineers, and planners during the design phase of community projects, they can create safe, sustainable environments and green spaces that encourage healthy activities. Implementing CPTED in unsafe areas with high crime rates improves quality of life and reduces negative health impacts. The CPD credential equips public health professionals with the skills to develop CPTED programs and apply them in the field.
Nonprofit organizations involved in community safety, health, and sustainability can utilize CPTED strategies to reduce crime and engage the community.
