Applied Strategies for Safer Multifamily Communities

The half-day program begins with an update on Georgia’s new premises liability standards from apartment law expert Mike Williams. Then, the hands-on workshop expands into the mechanics of risk analysis and crime prevention. Through case examples, scenario analysis, and group exercises, attendees learn how to identify vulnerabilities, gather and interpret relevant crime data, and establish stronger security frameworks aligned with industry standards and Georgia premises-liability expectations.
