Crime Free RV Parks
A three-prong approach built for the RV park community.
Overview
About Crime Free RV Parks
The Crime Free RV Parks Program was developed in March 1999 in Page, Arizona. It is a three-phase certification program designed specifically for the RV park community, bringing police officers, owners, managers, and residents together.
The Crime Free Lease Addendum is the backbone of the program. Managers must explain it to every applicant before an application is turned in or any fees are paid — and every prospective resident must be treated exactly the same.
The three phases
From first class to full certification.
Each phase is completed under the supervision of local law enforcement.
