CITATIONS 5-YEAR COMPARISON

CRIME PATTERNS AND STRATEGIESOverall, call volume has increased the first three months of 2013. This is not due to an increase in crime but rather an increase in community-oriented policing efforts which include school visits and business checks.Overall, violent crime and property crime rates remain relatively low. Most of the vehicle burglaries and damaged property crimes are occurring between 300 W. to 500 W. and 4525 S. to 5100 S.An increase in temperature usually correlates with an increase in property crimes.A crime prevention letter will be sent out with the city newsletter reminding residents to always lock their vehicles and to never leave valuables inside.Deputies will increase patrol in problem areas and continue to conduct more security checks, foot patrols and bicycle patrols.BIKE PATROLQUIET AND COVERT

BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERSThe total number of calls for service has decreased 25% between 2003 and 2012.The number of reports written has decreased 26% between 2003 and 2012.The number of traffic stops has decreased 60% between 2003 and 2012.The number of citations has fluctuated over a 10-year period of time with a high of 2021 citations in 2005 to a low of 1106 citation in 2011.DV AND ASSAULTSSEX AND DRUGSPROPERTY CRIMESWARRANTS & ARRESTSWHY A DECREASE?Increase in patrol presenceThe number of officers per shift more than tripled when the Sheriffs Office took over the Terrace contract. Increased patrol equals a decrease in crime. A supervisor was also added to each shift to provide 24-hour coverage.Specialty positions createdCommunity resource officer, community resource division, two school resource officers, a DARE officer, full-time detective and traffic unit.Problem-solving policingProblem residences, apartments and specific criminals were targeted. The Good Land Lord Program was created. These efforts helped reduce and eliminate crime.Increased traffic enforcementStrict traffic enforcement was conducted. In addition to citations, many arrests were made for drugs, warrants and other offenses. The word got out, Dont speed in the Terrace! Reduction in forceThe elimination of specialty positions, deputy positions, and the consolidation of resources has reduced the number of deputies in the Terrace. The reduction of positions eliminates the opportunity for some problem-solving policing as deputies have less time to devote to these activities. Doing more with less means other responsibilities are also divided up.Personnel changesChanges in personnel can sometimes affect crew chemistry and overall production.PROBLEM SOLVING POLICINGIdentifyANALYSISRESPONSEASSESSMENT

March 5, 2013

Although crime rates remain relatively low in Farr West City, it is important to remember to safeguard your homes and vehicles against possible break-ins as warmer weather approaches. Typically as the temperature rises, so do the number of reported property crimes.

Most burglaries and thefts are crimes of opportunity. The perpetrators usually look for easy targets and items such as purses, book bags, and electronics (laptops, iPods, cell phones, ect.). By removing these valuables from your vehicle when it is not in use, it will make it less enticing to thieves who may be looking for an easy score.

Although it may not guarantee that your vehicle will not be broken into, always roll up the windows, lock the doors, and never leave the keys inside. By taking a just a few preventive measures, you will minimize your chances of being victimized.

Also, the Sheriffs Office asks that you immediately report any suspicious activity. If you observe unfamiliar individuals wandering your neighborhood, or juveniles walking around the streets late at night, please contact the Weber Consolidated Dispatch Center at (801)629-8221.

Many break-ins do occur in the late hours of the night; however, occasionally there are individuals who commit burglaries during the daytime. It is sometimes very difficult for law enforcement to apprehend these criminals without the help of the citizens in our communities.

Thank you for your support, and hopefully we can all have a safe and wonderful summer!

Sincerely,

The Weber County Sheriffs Office
