Crime Free Multi-Housing Program

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

In 1992, the Mesa, Arizona Police Department created the crime-free multi-housing program to reduce nuisance and criminal activity in rental properties. The success of this program can be attributed to the mutual cooperation between the local police department, rental property management, and residents with the end goal of creating a safer community for everyone to live in and enjoy.
