The City of Dubuque is sponsoring two additional sessions of an educational program for property owners and managers on how to reduce crime in rental housing. Property owners and managers may register for this program which will be held on Thursday, October 10 OR Saturday, October 12, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the NICC Town Clock Center, 680 Main Street, Dubuque.

The training program, the Dubuque Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program, will provide comprehensive information on all aspects of managing property with a special emphasis on how to reduce crime in rental property. Participants of the program will receive a complete guide to assist in maintaining a crime-free property.

Presenters include local attorneys and City of Dubuque staff from the Police, Fire, Legal, Housing and Community Development, and Human Rights departments. Landlords and property managers will also have access to various resource booths over the lunch break. The registration fee is $30, payable to NICC. To register, visit www.nicc.edu/solutions and enter “crime-free housing” in the search field. Or contact the NICC Town Clock Center for Professional Development at (563) 557-8271, ext. 380. Registrations are due one week prior to the session you wish to attend. Additional information on this program, the applicable ordinance, and the registration form are available on the city’s website at www.cityofdubuque.org/DCFMHP.

As recommended by the Safe Community Task Force, current City Ordinance requires all Dubuque property owners and managers attend the City’s Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program one time. Licensed realtors are exempt from this requirement. Additional sessions will be offered in the spring, 2014. For more information, contact Crime Prevention/Public Information Officer Lt. Scott Baxter, at 563-589-4473 or sbaxter@cityofdubuque.org.
