    I met Steve several years ago when he joined Collicutt Energy Services as our Asset Protection Manager. After realizing that Steve’s objectives were to secure not only the typical company product (assets) but us, the employees (we too were considered assets)I realized how passionate he is about his career. I have never met any one other than CFO’s who are so meticulous about their notes, more thorough and caring than most! Living in Red Deer and seeing the unfortunate crime increase over the years, I am a happy resident knowing Steve is looking out for all of us if we work with him.

    I thought your website was very informative. I would love to see you add more on CPTED and how it is working in Red Deer. I know Red Deer is taking some fantastic measures in assuring CPTED is moving forward and being implemented in the city. Red Deer may prove to be a proving grounds for CPTED at the Provincial level. All in all, great website and can’t wait to read more. Please put me on your mailing list for the new letter.
    Thanks Gerry

    I would like to welcome Steve to the ACCPA Board of Directors. Steve will be a great addition to the team. Both Steve and I are new board members with ACCPA. I have known Steve since 1996 and have the upmost respect for his dedication to crime prevention, CPTED and quality of life. Steve and I are not new to ACCPA and have been involved since it’s inception. It will be great to share this new journey with Steve in ACCPA. I also look forward to sharing our CPTED knowledge and expertise and sharing that with ACCPA.
