New! Crime Free Multi-Housing Program Training | Upcoming training dates / Registration form 

Crime Free Multi-Housing (CFMH) is a program designed to make multi-family dwellings and single family rental homes safe and desirable places to live. The program provides a partnership between police, local property owners/managers, and residents to foster a safe, healthy, crime free community in rental housing. CFMH is pro-property manager, pro-resident, and anti-crime program with attainable benefits.

Property owners, managers, assistant managers, leasing agents, office staff, maintenance staff, and anyone who works with housing is encouraged to participate in the program.

The program uses a unique three-phase approach that ensures resident-friendly techniques will be applied to achieve crime prevention goals. The three components that make up the program are:

  • Management Training
  • Security Assessment
  • Resident Safety/Crime Watch

All three phases of the program must be met before the complex/property can be certified in the CFMH program.  After all three phases are completed the owner/property manager will receive certification indicating they are fully certified as a Crime Free Multi-Housing property.

Our Commitment to you:
In return for your commitment to the program and upon full certification, the Irving Police Department will provide the following benefits:

  • Your property will be recognized in the Crime Free Multi Housing Participating Locations section of the City of Irving website through the Irving Police Department website.
  • You will be able to use the Crime Free trademark logo in advertisement.
  • You will receive monthly "calls for service" reports (must have email address).
  • You will be able to post Crime Free Multi-Housing signs on your property.
  • Obtaining Public Record copies of police reports are made easier.
  • Irving Police will assist in screening local criminal history information
  • You will be able to use the Crime Free Application Addendum
  • You will be able to use the Crime Free Lease Addendum

The Crime Free Application Addendum is an effective, legal tool used to properly screen prospective tenants. The Crime Free Lease Addendum is based on the "one-strike - you're out" lease agreement recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
