Burglary and theft were cited by LEPA executive officer Ted Livingston as the two most serious crime offenses in terms of frequency and cost. For all of Utah County, the 1974 Projected Pro-jected Analysis indicates that the frequency of burglaries will have raised 28 in one year; for theft, there is a projected project-ed 21 raise for just one year. In Orem, burglaries are projected pro-jected to have a decrease this year by 2. This is compared to a 64 increase that is expected ex-pected to occur in Provo, a 158 increase for American Fork, and a 288 expected increase in-crease for Pleasant Grove. Springville expects-a 51 decrease. de-crease. In Orem, thefts are projected to increase by only 8 this year.

Simons Sim-ons attributes Or em's favorable standing in the LEPA figures due to the fact that the Orem Police Department issues apat-rol apat-rol car to every one of its officers. These patrol cars, whose very presence deter crime, are used by the officers on both their on and off duty hours. No other city in the county is using suchaprogram. Ted Livingston, while praising prais-ing Orem and some other cities in some categories as "bright spots on the horizon," warned that in general, Utah County officials have a real cause for alarm as they face the serious expansion of criminal activity in this area.
