Crime Free Mobile Housing Program

The Columbia Crime Free Mobile Housing Program was designed to assist owners and managers of mobile housing properties in keeping drugs and other illegal activity off their property.

This program is solution oriented. It is designed to be easy, yet effective in reducing the incidents of crime in mobile housing communities.

The program utilizes an approach which has crime prevention as the goal, yet is customer oriented and friendly.

Upon completion of the program requirements, managers and owners will be granted the use of large metal signs for display on the property. Management will also be granted the use of the police department's program logo in all advertisements to assist in the promotion of a crime-free community.

2009 training dates are as follows:
