Recognizing Excellence in Crime Prevention
Too often, the hard work and dedication involved in crime prevention go unrecognized or are taken for granted. The Florida Crime Prevention Association (FCPA) seeks to change that by honoring the outstanding efforts of individuals, groups, and organizations who go above and beyond to keep their communities safe.
Each year at the FCPA Annual Crime Prevention Conference, up to six separate awards are presented to recognize exemplary contributions in the field of crime prevention. These awards highlight the impact of those who support their communities and organizations through innovative and sustained crime prevention efforts.
By shining a light on these efforts, FCPA aims to inspire continued commitment to safer, stronger neighborhoods across Florida.
