Crime Prevention

The Crime Prevention Program works to reduce crime through community education. Our goal is to to empower individuals to take responsibility for their safety and well being at school, home, work or play. We encourage them to work as a team with law enforcement officers.

We actively teach people:

• how crime prevention relates to them
• how to anticipate, recognize and assess a a crime risk
• how to initiate action to reduce or remove the threat of crime

The Crime Prevention Program serves the Davis campus and UC Davis Medical Center communities, including numerous UC Davis Medical Groups, Primary Care Clinics, and research/teaching facilities located throughout Northern California.
