You Can Start Training Any Time You Choose.

We STRONGLY Encourage You To Get Updated On Domestic Violence (VAWA), H.U.D. Guidelines for Tenant Screening and Evictions, plus the U.S.D.O.J. interventions regarding Crime Free Ordinances!

The ACLU, DOJ and Journalists Are Looking At:

• Agencies teaching landlords to deny applications based on ARREST history. (Not convictions)
• Agencies teaching landlords to deny applications based on any FELONY conviction. (Blanket ban / No back date) Sex offenders.
• Agencies teaching landlords to deny applications based on Domestic Violence (victim) history.
• Agencies teaching landlords to evict tenants based on current (victimization of) Domestic Violence.
• Agencies that penalize (through local nuisance ordinances) tenants/victims who call the police.
• Violations regarding Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

State Trainer (Higher Certification)

As a State Trainer, you will be certified by the association to teach the Crime Free Program to any law enforcement agency within your state. There is extra paperwork and more recordkeeping. You will get the training materials in conjunction with the program presentation, when you request that we bring the Crime Free Program workshop to you.

The other option is to receive this training at one national location, to be determined, by the need for it. In the past, the Train-the-Trainer program has been held in the USA and Canada.

The State Trainer concept is used when officers limit their training to the state they are employed in. Only currently-sworn officers will be certified. Our training spends time on administrative issues as well as sharing ideas on how to teach the program in your state or province.

The session may look something like this:

• Day 1 - Observe an 8-hour manager training course
• Day 2 - Work on teaching concepts and CPTED concepts
• Day 3 - Administrative details of the program
  

National Trainer (Highest Certification)

As a National Trainer, you will be able to teach across the country anywhere the program is needed. If you desire to receive a National Certification, please note there are some additional hours, above the State Trainer level, needed to receive this certification.

National Trainer Requirements:

• Individual must be a certified law enforcement member
• Must be a Crime Free Coordinator for at least five years
• Must be involved in Crime Free Training within your state
• Must be willing to travel on a national level from time to time.
• Must apply to and be approved by the ICFA Executive Director

We will certify a National Trainer on an as needed basis. In other words, when our pool of instructors decreases in size, we will add to that pool. Currently, all current and past Crime Free Association Board members are certified National Trainers. We have two or three additional trainers, as well. This certification demands more time on the part of the trainer. For example, you may find yourself spending two, three, and maybe four days with a requesting agency if they have the need for a program to be presented or request multiple programs.
