Résumé
"Police officers were again being asked to do permanent foot patrols
through the main branch of the Kitchener Public Library.
Reported
incidents included 6 indecent acts, 5 thefts, 1 break-in and 17 miscellaneous
calls for service.
Recognizing the redundancy of the traditional response and the role the layout of the
library's stacks had played in facilitating these incidents, the Waterloo
Regional Police contacted the Peel Regional Police Crime Prevention
Services for expert Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) advice.
The primary goal of the response plan was to provide for and exploit a number of lost
opportunities for natural surveillance and access control."--Includes text from page 1.
