The Veridus Group recently completed a “Safety and Security Assessment” on the properties owned by the Muncie Civic Theatre. Utilizing Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies, Veridus staff evaluated the physical property and emergency plans to keep staff, visitors, and clients as safe as possible. The assessment reviews numerous hardscape items like landscaping, lighting, pathways, and emergency evacuation and shelter plans. The ultimate goal is to create a safe environment that is not only free of crime and dangers but also attractive and desirable, thus making it inviting to the public at large.
