History:

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program (CFMHP) began in 1992 at Mesa, Arizona and was first implemented in Canada by the New Westminster Police Service in 1994. Numerous other B.C. communities have now adopted the Program. Further, the B.C. Crime Prevention Association now has a committee which oversees the B.C. Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. The Program continues to yield extremely positive results.

What is the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program?

The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program (CFMHP) is an honest, direct and solution oriented crime prevention initiative designed specifically to help apartment owners, managers, residents, police and other agencies work together to keep illegal and nuisance activity off rental property.

Its unique three phases ensure the crime prevention goal, while maintaining an approach which is resident friendly, yet effective in reducing the incidence of crime in multi-unit apartment communities.
