CRIME FREE MULTI HOUSING INITIATIVE

The Orlando Police Department is excited to announce the implementation of the Crime Free Multi Housing (CFMH) Program. CFMH is a certified program which partners with rental property owners, residents and law enforcement personnel in an effort to eliminate crime in multi-housing properties. It is active in over 2000 cities worldwide. CFMH is designed to help tenants, owners, and managers of rental properties keep drugs and other illegal activity off their property. CFMH is a unique three part approach.

Phase One - Eight-hour training seminar for managers.

Phase Two – Certification- the rental property has met the security requirements for the tenants' safety.

Phase Three- Tenant Crime Prevention meeting.


Once all phases are completed, managers will be able to place signage on their property advertising their participation in the program. Some properties where the CFMH program has been implemented have shown a reduction of crime up to 70%. Other benefits enjoyed by participants of the program are lower maintenance and repair costs, increased property values, improved personal safety for tenants, landlords and managers, and increased demand for rental units with a reputation for active management.

The Orlando Police Department is proud to announce that 40 communities in the City of Orlando attended our 1st Phase One training session.

We invite any rental community interested in participating in the CFMH Program to contact the Crime Prevention Division at 407-246-2461.
