| Show ' ’ — - Celebrate The Constitution W V to Community Editorial Police Consolidation Raises Questions number of questions need to be answered before the public can adequately evaluate the Salt Lake City police chief's proposal to close his department's two substations and consolidate operations at a new central location Chief Bud Willoughby says his department could save money and provide better service by closing its East Patrol Division substation at 1486 S 1100 East and its West Patrol Division substation at 340 Goshen (1040 West) He has proposed that the city consolidate his ment’s operations and move them to new quarters that would be leased in a downtown office buildA ing A potential site has not been chosen although the building that for- merly housed the Northwest Pipe Lines Co at 315 E 200 South has been mentioned Department headquarters currently are located in the Metropolitan Hall of Justice The chief says the department could save up to $1 million a year in facilities and personnel costs by consolidating Those funds then could pay for more officers in the field Some city residents are skeptical The East Patrol Division substation is located in Sugar House and the community council there wants to keep it They are urging Chief Willoughby not only to preserve the substation but move it into their community's business district They feel the substation affords their area better police protection That may or may not be the case It is obviously comforting to see a station house in the neighborhood However if Chief Willoughby can live up to his promise to add 14 more officers to the area's patrols with savings realized by closing it Sugar House residents might actually be better off without the substation After all it’s officers in the field not buildings that provide quick responses to calls and deter crime On the other hand Chief Willoughby has been trying for some time to build support for his plan to move the police department out of Plan Vacation?
