BRAND STATE Residents in Jensen have attempted to reduce theft of livestock and farm equipment in their area by forming a Neighborhood Watch Program. Another program that is aimed at reducing theft is Operation Identification which is sponsored by the Uintah County Sheriffs Office. The program is part of a national network and has been successful in many areas. Under the program each family is assigned a specific identification number. The first part of the number is coded to indicate the state and county where the property originated and the last part of the number is to identify the person who owns the property. The identification number is especially helpful in locating property that is taken across state lines.
