The. Crime Prevention concept

Prevention: the beslt cure " J:

Trdditienally, eur lawenfercement· . system went intO' actien enly when a crime actually was cemrrfi'hed. The fecus was en the criminal: his cl,etec­tien and apprehension. But teday, just as a geed d€;ntist prefers to' pre­vent a cavity rather than flll ene, we weuld rather', where possible, prevent crime befere it eccurs.·'

The result is fewer crimes, fewer victims, and a safer cemmunity.

High potential for crime to

We knew the pessibility fer crime is high here in Utah. Citizens are ceh­cerned. Accerding to' a 1976 surveYt 23% ef the respendents stated they had been burglarized, 42% felt they lived in a medium or high crime area, and' 35% felt they had an excellent er geed chance ef being burglarized (Bureau of Gevernment and Opinien Research, Crime ' Preventien Stt!.dy,1976). In another

. ,.

1\ .

1976 surveY, .mere than ene-third sta.ted they had already been victims ef crime (Wasatch OpinienResearch Cerpor.ation, Crime Prev~ntien Survey> August 1976).

We den't have to' wait vntil mere crimes are cemmitted to' act. We knew thepetential. The fecus fer" Crime P~eventienis nO' lenger on the criminal, but en the cencerned citizen and what he can'de to pro­tect himself and his family.

Stop them before they stcut. An unlocked dear, a key in the ignition; a dark, unpretected streef­these invite the dmateurcriminal to try his luck, Such O'ppO'rtunity may be the beginning of a life ef crime to those vulnerable to temptation. If an early attempt is thwarted, hO'wever, they may not try agqin. Only behavior that is rewarded is likely to' be repeated. "

An important aspect of Crime Check is the mutual cooperation of the community and the law enforcement

. officers to recognize or (!nticipate a crime risk and the!'! take action to refTloveor reduce opportunity for the trimeto occur .•

'=Anticipate th~ crime. Remove the opportunity. At last the educated, dware, intelligen.t citizen can fight back. Citizens and police officers can meet to mutual advantage. ,The benefits. of a crime prevention pro;.. gram can include reduced CQsts,a more· effective police system i and better community relations. That's the .,;~, n~ason f~rCrimeCheck.

Crime Check--a' statewide program Cen'tralized resource center', Funded through the Law Enforce'fhent ... Assistance Administration, Crime Check was founded in July of 1976 to p~ovide crime prevention traini~gl information, technical assistance, and materials to all law enforcement qgencies and civic organizations in the state.

Crime Check has been active in in~reasing physical security and alarm systems,educating against careless-ness, property registration and marking programs, improvin;;; public awareness and surveillance tech­niques/ andfrainingpolice officers in crime prevention activities. Before 1976 only seven officers in the state had received any such form'alized training. Now more than 200.pfficers have been trained an~ gone on to train others in their departments.

Few citizens .had any knowledge about crime prevention before 1976 . . Sincethen, some 250 community representatives fhroughout Utah f~iave attended crime prevention work7 shops. Thousands of brochures have been distributed to law enforcement agencies and citizens. Films and

.'1

displays have been available to ,law enforccement groups and community agencies. More than 95 law enforce­ment agenc:.t~shave become active In <:rime, prevention programs. .

Public awareness campaigns . Conducts an annual media campaign

to sharpen public awareness. During November 1976~June 1977, the "Report If' campaign zeroed in on asking citizens to report suspicious activities, using TV and radio spots, newspaper advertisements, and

.;: ..

billboards. Subsequent reports showed . that citizen reporting in'creased

considerably in the larger police departments and that, 95% of the population had seen the adverti~ing in one f9rrri or another.

"Operation 10" focused on marking property, running during the peak

period for residential burglaries . Vibro engravers were distributed to lawenforcementag~ncies free of. charge to support the program.

Security surveys enable businesses and homeowners to adequat~ly pro­tect their property without the expense of security consultants. Trdined law enforcement officers will inspect the home or business on request, and mokerecommendations for cost-effl?ctive security. By improv­ingthe physical secl,Jrity, the oppor-

tunify for crime to occur is reduced.

Law enforcement agencies through­out Utah are implementing the

,:; Security Survey Program. The Sandy City Police Department has be,en developing the security survey pro­gram since January' 1977. During the

l' ftrst year, 32 security surveys, mainly residentiol, were condUded. As of May 1978 the Sandy City Police Department has received 150 requests for security surveys, and is conducting the surveys as manpower dlocations
