Attendees will learn that there are three important principles to deterring crime and creating rental community efficiency.
Partnerships- Neither Police Officers, Rental Community Management, nor Residents can fight crime and quality of life issues alone. A reciprocated union is required to fix reoccurring issues and the only way to find success is through a collaborative effort.
Prevention- The understanding that prevention is always better than having to seek a cure. This is accomplished through critical risk assessments put into action to achieve a preventative goal.
Participation- The realization that crime is a community problem which requires everyone working together to reduce or prevent it. This is the true essence of the police and citizen partnership and only when put into actual practice can cooperative strategies be implemented to fix reoccurring problems. Total success and profitability can be realized when all stakeholders become involved.

Don’t settle for another “Dear John” rejection notice. What did our clients do to avoid those rejection notices?
They got First Responder Grants training.
“We have been awarded $410,199, and we have about $4,000 invested in training and assistance through you. That’s over $100,000 for every $1,000 invested. Thank you.”
— Undersheriff Mickey Gruber, Brown County Sheriff, Kansas

“Our department is very small and gets very little support from local government. Years ago, my department sent me to a First Responder Grants seminar in Philadelphia. It was the best money our department has ever spent. I would estimate in the last 3 years we are in the $750,000-$1,000,000-dollar club for grants. I would highly recommend going to this seminar.”
