Certificate In Crime Prevention Studies (CCPS)
A module of the Diploma In Corporate Security Management Studies (DCSMS)
Prevent Loss. Protect People. Safeguard Public Trust.
Crime today is increasingly organised, technology-enabled, and deliberately targeted at organisations and communities alike. Traditional security measures alone are no longer sufficient to address threats that blend physical access, human behaviour, and digital deception. Modern institutions—whether corporate or public—require professionals who can think preventively, recognise early warning signs, and respond in a responsible and coordinated manner before harm escalates.
The Certificate in Crime Prevention Studies (CCPS) equips participants with practical and structured methods to identify vulnerabilities, deter wrongdoing, and reduce opportunities for crime. The programme focuses on real-world application rather than theory, enabling learners to assess environments, strengthen procedures, and influence positive behaviour within their own workplaces. Emphasis is placed on proportionate safeguards that respect legal and ethical boundaries while remaining effective and sustainable.
Designed for both corporate and public sector practitioners, CCPS bridges security knowledge with everyday operational realities. It supports organisations in protecting people, assets, information, and reputation through integrated prevention strategies, cross-department collaboration, and constructive engagement with law enforcement partners. Graduates return to their roles with the confidence and tools to contribute meaningfully to safer workplaces and stronger public trust.
