CPTED Ontario – Honour Roll
Timothy D. Crowe
Timothy D. Crowe, renowned criminologist and author of the textbook Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, passed away on February 21, 2009, after a brief cancer-related illness. Tim served as a consultant and trainer over a distinguished 35-year period during which time he personally trained over 6,000 police officers, community planners and design professionals from across the United States and numerous other countries. Tim lent his expertise to housing, school security and transportation programs in Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, The Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. He was also instrumental in the planning of significant events and neighbourhood redevelopment programs. Tim served as the Director of the National Crime Prevention Institute (NCPI) at the University of Louisville and created NCPI’s CPTED training program and was the principle CPTED instructor for the American Crime Prevention Institute.
On Oct. 19th, 2003, Tim was named the first Honourary member of CPTED Ontario having generously agreed to be the keynote speaker at the inaugural CPTED Ontario conference held in Mississauga, Ontario in the fall of 2001. Tim was invited back to our 7th annual conference where he once again agreed to generously speak at the York Region conference held in the fall of 2007. Tim’s academic studies include an extended stay in Florence, Italy, where he attended courses in architectural history and classics, a B. S. degree in Criminology and Humanities and a M.S. degree in Criminology. Tim is fondly remembered by those who knew him and benefitted from his “unique intelligence, wit and humour”. Tim was the first recipient of the CPTED Ontario Honour Roll.
Patricia (Pat) Saito
Pat Saito was first elected to Council in the City of Mississauga and Region of Peel in 1991 having served in that capacity until her retirement in the fall of 2022. Having had a long history of community involvement that included serving on the local residents’ association and bringing recreational and social programs to her community, Pat’s focus during her long career in politics has been on community development.
As a volunteer and then as a Councillor, Pat dedicated much of her time to crime prevention, traffic safety, health and youth and children’s issues. Pat was a founding Director of the Mississauga Crime Prevention Association (now Safe City Mississauga) in 1992 and served as a director for much of her time on Council. Working with Tom McKay, formerly of Peel Regional Police, Pat initiated the very successful Peel Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Committee in 1994, which she chaired for many years. This committee resulted in CPTED being incorporated into all planning within the City of Mississauga and the Region of Peel and developed principles of design that are still in use today. As the work of the Peel CPTED Committee was fulfilled, in 2005 Pat initiated and served on the Peel Youth Violence Prevention Network. She also served on the Peel Regional Police Internet Safety Committee. In 2006, Pat’s contributions were recognized by Peel Regional Police who awarded her the prestigious Robert Boyne Award for Crime Prevention. In 2013 she was further honoured with the Crime Prevention Ambassador Award by the International Society of Crime Prevention Practitioners. In 2017, Pat was awarded her Long Service Award from the Province of Ontario for 25 years of municipal service.
Pat was also a driving force in the creation of the Mississauga Safe Driving Committee, renamed Road Safety and helped implement many traffic safety campaigns. As a regional Councillor, Pat has served on almost every committee in Peel, chairing the Works Committee and Budget Committees and most recently the Health Services Integration Committee. Pat was the second person to be named to the CPTED Ontario Honour Roll at the 2015 CPTED Ontario conference.
