EXPERT WITNESSI am now available for expert witness work related to crime prevention, crime prevention through environmental design, schools, social services, and homelessness.

CPTED/ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN/SAFE SCHOOL DESIGN — I’ve inspected schools throughout the U.S. and helped them figure out how to make things safer, better, healthier and more fun. I’ve also consulted regarding a wide variety of other environments, ranging from parks and bike paths to homeless camps, businesses, private non-profits, public housing and nursing homes. My work draws on SAFE, HEALTHY AND POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (SHAPED) and CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (CPTED). (more…) 

PERSONAL SAFETY/CONFRONTATION MANAGEMENT — I teach practical seminars on confrontation management, dealing with difficult customers, or surviving encounters with annoying people. These workshops are customized to meet your needs. I spent 10 years working with a street outreach clinic and 30 years with the Eugene Police Department, primarily as a crime prevention specialist.

My approach builds on trust, kindness, validation and children’s wild imaginations. I served for years as the resident interactive storyteller, poet and positive behavior coach at the Family School in Eugene, Oregon.
