Community association board members, managers, and business partners are regularly faced with challenging and complex issues that can spark strong emotions. However, few are prepared for violent attacks; few know how to handle aggressive behavior; and few know how to respond when their lives are on the line.
Many recognize it’s time to change that mindset, to prepare for the worst-case scenario, and to take steps to protect themselves, their colleagues, neighbors, and residents.
In CAI's new special report, Safety First: Evaluating Risks and Developing Practical Solutions, readers will find ideas, tips, and resources on community safety, conflict prevention, security options, and results from a survey of CAI members.
About Safety First
This guide was adapted from several Common GroundTM magazine articles, a survey of more than 200 CAI members in January 2023, discussions in CAI’s members-only Exchange groups, and resources previously developed by CAI.
