She was sponsored by SOS Drug, where she also works as a clerk. Springville has lowest crime rate, lowest officer ratio in county The Springville , Police Department has the lowest number of, police officers per capita in the county, yet maintains one of the lowest crime rates, according to a graph compiled by Ted Livingston, Mountainland Association of Governments (mag). The Springville department has an off iceer ratio of only 0.74, or eight officers, per 10,764 population, the" graph showed. Orem was the only other city with an officer ratio as low as Springville's, but it was the city which had the highest crime rate, the graph showed. With the single exception of Spanish Fork, the - police departments in the cities in Utah ' County that have the lowest percentage of specialists among their personnel also have the lowest crime rates and the lowest clearance rates, or crimes solved rates. It was the assumption concluded con-cluded from the report by Mr. Livingston that the police department that devotes all of its manpower to preventive-patrol, preventive-patrol, will prevent more offenses of-fenses from occuring, but will also be less capable of clearing the offenses that actually take place. The tradeoff that decisionmakers decision-makers must consider, therefore, lies between crime prevention and crime clearance, the latter of which includes the ' very important factor of stolen property recovery, the report shows. , There are two principal issues with which police officials must deal: the crime rate and the clearance rate. Looking at the Springville record would raise doubts as to the impact that specialization would have on the clearance rate. Springville had one detective assigned full time , to investigations both in 1974 and in 1975. Yet, the clearance rate was quite poor in the former year and good in the latter. The difference came in detective's orientation. In 1974 he was assigned full time to the regional narcotics task force, and was expected to devote his complete attention to the drug problem that was a top priority at this time. In 1975 however, he took on a general orientation and worked on all serious offenses. The result was a dramatic increase in-crease in the clearance rate. The substatial decrease in the crime rate in Springville is attributed at-tributed to an innovative and inexpensive crime prevention program inaugurated early in 1975.

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Jensen, she will now represent Springville when she reigns over Art City Days June 2-5 and in numerous other In direct contrast to Springville's low officer, low crime rate record, most other cities in the county showed that the lower the officer ratio per thousand residents, the higher the serious crime rate , would become. The goal which MAG hopes to establish by the report is that all police departments in the county would establish by July 1, 1978, a minimum ration of 1.2 full tim police officers per thousand residents in every city with a population of 3,000 or more. By establishing the recommended recom-mended officer ratio, the report states that the crime rates should drop in ratio to the increased in-creased police officers. It was recommended that police agencies should increase the force to a minimum level of 1.2 officers per thousand residents in municipalities and 1.6 per thousand residents in the counties, and utilize the additional ad-ditional personnel in special operation approaches designed to reduce the opportunity to commit burgulary, theft and robbery, and to increase the risk of apprehension for commiting all Part One offenses.
