About Crime Prevention

In order for a crime to occur, three things must exist. They are desire, ability, and opportunity. We refer to this as the Crime Triangle. We can’t control a criminal’s desire or ability but we can greatly influence the opportunity that exists. That’s what crime prevention is all about. Here are a few of the ways the Kernersville Police Department can partner with you.

Information

We offer publications on current topics related to crime prevention. Many are available here on our website in our brochure room. If you need information on a topic not listed, please contact us.

Residential Security Assessments

Have an officer conduct a security assessment of your residence and provide recommendations for ways you can reduce your risk of becoming a victim. The homeowner must be present for the assessment.

Commercial Security Assessments

Our Community Engagement Team will conduct a survey of your business and provide feedback. Commercial Surveys take approximately 2 hours and require a key holder to accompany the officer.
