"The highest profit lowest risk business venture in the United States is stealing from construction sites.

Law enforcement is a tough job due to the amount of crime today. The construction industry recognized this and has stepped forward. Through the Construction Industry Crime Prevention Program (CICPP), a statewide organization since 1971, industry members are taking the responsibility to reduce crime in their own industry. This organization is a backbone to deter crime on the job-site, at your construction yard, and anywhere construction is done. Members are the most important factor. Are you the missing piece? Let's bring our industry together and put the criminals on the defense. Help put signs up at every construction site in California. We can not do it without you.
