Show activity well accepted With all the controversy over the law-enforcement agencies ag-encies in Moab. it is refreshing to have a good, enthusiastic report from citizens about an area under the jurisdiction of one of these departments. New to the Moab area this year was the instigation by the Police Department of a house check for residents going out of the city on business or vacation. An invitation was given to Moab residents to use this service for the protection protec-tion of their personal property. Evidently the service has been more than satisfactory to those who have taken the opportunity to use it. Police officers don't just ride past the homes; they get out of their cars, walk around the house investigating windows, doors, etc, and look for any signs of anything out of order. They then leave a note for the owner, giving the time the house was inspected, the date, and the officer's name. These cheiks are varied so that no routine pattern will be set for arrival to the property. Being able to have the worry of the safety of your personal property at home adds to the enjoyment of any trip. This type of community service can be utilized and appreciated by all. |
