Local organization provides quarterly training for law enforcement, educators and crime prevention practitioners
Buffalo, NY – Canisius College will be the new home to The Crime Prevention Association of Western New York (CPAWNY), an organization that for the past 20 years has educated community members about crime prevention. Canisius College Public Safety Lieutenant James Murphy, III, led the initiative to provide CPAWNY with an office on the college’s Main Street campus. Murphy also serves as CPAWNY president.
“It is an honor to welcome The Crime Prevention Association of Western New York to the Canisius campus,” said Gary Everett, director of public safety at the college. “We look forward to hosting the meetings and sharing information with association members from across Erie County. We also look forward to highlighting our Canisius College access system, central monitoring station, CCTV and other efforts we make to keep our campus safe.”
Everett also noted that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Canisius College Crime Prevention Unit, one of the first established in Erie County.
The CPAWNY provides quarterly training for law enforcement, educators and crime prevention practitioners across Western New York and is the lead organizer for National Night Out. CPAWNY is proud of its 20-year record of placing in the top 15 communities each year for its National Night Out activities.
