BUT NOT only did he ac- cept a position then, but he has been with the force ever since, including the last 18 months as police chief. And recently,. the city council; , , approved his appointment for, at least three years, subject to possible renewal. Chief Daren Green has handled just about everything a police officer might have to encounter in a city the size of Clearfield and has come up through the ranks working as lieutenant the last few years before receiving his present assignment. The department has no captains or assistant chief, making the lieutenant rank next to chief in importance. HOLDING A degree in sociology with minors in science and police psychology, as well as a graduation certificate from the National FBI Academy, the chief says, Law enforcement as far as the mandate of the job is very specific as to how you handle specific cases. It gives no latitude as to whether you arrest them or not but does give you latitude on how you handle a par- telephone equipment installation and repair specialist at implementation of a Northern Utah Crime Data Center program for the department. With a goal to standardize police reporting procedures and keep records for the city and various area police agencies, Chief Green says results are already being shown in fewer hours needed for record keeping. Another phase ot thal project will allow for work production evaluation, he said. We will be able to evaluate work production in the entire department and will get reports from among the department and develop checks on some other areas. We hope to establish a picture' of an officers performance. THE hope be will minimized with such a system, Chief Green said, It takes more time to investigate an accident than to issue a citation, and we hope to be able to give some numerical value and give credit (to officers) for what they are doing. I want to know what it costs for an officer to do a particular function. ' I want to look at costs and I think with the tax situation the way it is we have to look at improved service with a minimal use of manpower and trying to keep costs at a minimum, he said. In some areas we may have to cut services where were not accomplishing the intended goal."

The dispatch system can ticular arrest. At the same time, he sees the role enforcement as an aid to the public in all possible areas, not just crime prevention. Law enforcement is service and it must be geared to serve the public. I see so many cases where people are sent from one agency to another as they try to solve their problem. But I feel when a problem is addressed to a law enforcement officer and if is within his police function,'1 he is obligated to solve it, not just refer it to another agency, unless he doesnt have the expertise.

I believe in developing programs along with other agencies within the city (to help minimize crime). An example would be working with the building department and city council to implement a fencing policy for construction sites. We get a lot of thefts (from construction sites), and if we could get sites fenced it would cut down on a lot of time, he says. MOST PEOPLE have encountered the traffic officer more than any other policeman and the chief says a major force behind efficient traffic flow and drivers comes not from increased patrolling but on the drawing boards before roads are constructed. The design of an intersection can have a great influence in traffic congestion, for We used to have a example. low speed through Clearfield but that was raised and I find that most people obey a reasonable law but may ; t law-abidi- disobey it if it is ' ON THE LOT, IN TRANSIT, OR BEING BUILT FOR OLSENS, at Olsens its value, variety, economy and kicks with 1 9 Monzas.
