The Centre for Crime Prevention and Safety (CCV) is an independent foundation, that helps to identify and solve safety problems. Our aim is to make safety policy more effective and easier to implement. To that end, we offer information, know-how, instruments and tailored advice directed at safety at home, safe working and safe living. A preventative approach is always the starting point.

Our services are partially financed by the Ministry of Justice and Security. In addition, we work on behalf of other parties. About 70 professionals work at the Centre. They work together with a large network.

The CCV works

• Together with safety professionals, local authorities, companies and civil society organisations on a safe and liveable Netherlands
• With and for public and private parties
• On prevention, to limit the number of potential victims and damages from crime.

• Connects, as a network organisation, policy and practice
