For every one case of reported rape, five go unreported, he said. Davis County had 17 cases of reported rape. Centerville had one of those 17. Salt Lake City has the highest number of rapes per thousand in the nation, said Russell. Many of our women go into Salt Lake for business or shopping, he said. Others jog or walk. I think Centerville is the safest city in the nation and I am going to do everything I can to keep it that way, he said. The small groups have more impact and interaction, said the chief. The department also offers classes on home security, drugs, and first aid. Each class is taught by a different officer who specializes in information and keeps up to date on the subject. Individuals wishing to host a class in their home should call the police department to set a date. Id like to do at least one class a week, said Russell. His officers would like to do the same.

The objective of the program is to develop an understanding of what a learning disability is and how a learning disabled child affects the family. It provides an opportunity to meet with families with similar situations and exchange ideas and helps teach parents techniques for working with the learning disabled child in the home.
