Ham- - Judy Brody, Director Utah Stata Division of Alcoholism and Drugs By LuCINDA TIMMERMAN There have been rumors in town of Salt Lake County putting headquarters for the Sheriffs Department in the old Fire and Sheriff's building on 2700 south. Hie Sheriffs office in the old building was used for many years, and then abandoned by the county. Then two years ago the substation was put back in use. The Sheriffs Department has asked the County Commission to remodel the building or to appropriate money to rent a more modern building in the Magna area. Hie building was built in 1928 by a V F.W. grant and is in need of updating. Hie County Commission is also looking at renting Dr. Drown s old office or a building needing less updating. For the present time the Sheriffs Department will use the building for a substation. Hie officers go to the substation to pick up reports or to get information from the sargeant. The sargeant in charge of the Magna station and the beach area is Sargeant Bruce Millet. There are two officers per eight hour shift working in the Magna area . Sheriff Pete Hayward told me there are also nine selective deployment officers, and five reserve officers, along with vice officers and narcotics officers in the Magna area at different times. One of the problems Sargeant Millet told me was in the Magna area The fear the people have to call us if they see anything or to talk to us and get involved. He said How can we serve the people we work for if they dont call us when we are needed? Hie Sheriffs are always on patrol and checking different parts of town, so the substation is only occupied by officers, when they are getting reports or information. If you need a Sheriff for help call Sheriff Hayward told me how he felt vandalism is one of the hardest problems to work with in the Magna area, but he feels that new county programs have cut down on this. Sargeant Millet told me of the increase patrol needed at the beach area now that it has been improved, but he also said he does not feel short handed very often. Magna this week, seeing our Sheriffs Department at work in the Magna area. Taking care of us and hopefully getting more town support and involvement. and emotional abuse, because someone close to them depends on the use of drugs or drinks too much. We expend an estimated $250,000 annually in lost productivity, unnecessary medical and judicial expenses, fire and accident costs, and social services. These costs are directly attributable to alcohol and drug misuse. This terrible economic and human waste does not have to be. Ms. Brady says that a great deal can be done. Your cooperation in the study is vital. The State Division of Alcoholism and Drugs needs hard data to effectively address the even harder human problems caused by alcohol and drug abuse.
