The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant shifts in the residential construction industry. Reduced eyes on the street means that builders may face a higher risk of construction related theft. Because theft and vandalism can cause high dollar setbacks during home construction, HBA has partnered with Construction Industry Crime Prevention Program of the Pacific Northwest (CICP). CICP is a network of contractors, law enforcement, trade associations and vendors who work together to fight theft and vandalism in the construction industry. CICP services include a 24/7 hotline and reward program, liaising and assistance to law enforcement for both theft prevention and recovery of equipment and materials, as well as job site security surveys and presentations.The organization is providing discounted rates to current HBA members.
