The Salt Lake City Police Department is sponsoring an opportunity for the residents of the community to become closely acquainted with how the police department functions. The Salt Lake Police Citizen’s Academy draws the police and the community closer together in a setting that brings the essence of police training to each participant.

 

During the twelve week academy, citizen members will receive two hours of training one evening every other week in the varied aspects of law enforcement. They will experience firsthand some of the inside workings of the Police Department. Participants will be taught the basics of patrol tactics, defensive tactics, firearms, and many other subjects. Academy members will meet and talk with many of the members of the department that serve them. All this takes place in a safe and entertaining training environment.

 

Citizen Academy instructors are all law enforcement professionals, who teach both veteran and recruit police officers. Participants will obtain a deeper understanding of the Police Department’s function with an increased awareness of community partnership opportunities.

 

Citizen academy students are selected through an application process. Interested applicants should visit our website: www.ci.slc.ut.us/police fill out and email the application form to Yvette.Zayas@slcgov.com or fax the application to

1-801-799-4311. Enrollment is limited to approximately twenty-five participants per session.

 

Chief Chris Burbank encourages the citizens of Salt Lake City to become involved in this program. The deadline for receipt of applications is June 3, and the next Citizen’s Academy will start on June 10, 2008 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Item  1 “Community Garden” by Scott Steenblik (359-0354)
 We learn by teaching and doing in the garden.  It is a community garden because we have the opportunity to learn and teach and receive support from the Community Council, our neighbors, neighborhood businesses and each other. 
 During the past year we have had the financial support of Mountain Valley Seeds.  We plan to use the support from Chevron Oil this coming year to garden from March 2008 – March 2009.  Yes, we can garden and harvest in the winter.  It is our plan to install additional water pumps and improve our water delivery system.  We grow 50+ varieties of vegetables each year along with a variety of flowers. 
 Everyone is welcome to come.  We will teach, learn and harvest together.  We are also looking for someone with woodworking skills to help us build a sign for the garden this year.  We are always looking for additional financial support so we can continue our efforts and grow with the garden.  If you are willing and interested, please contact me or a member of the Community Council board.

  4. Crime Report–Each month the Salt Lake City Police Department prepares a report of all Community Council areas.  The total offenses for the month of December for our community went up.  The biggest jump was in auto theft.  We had 8 vehicles stolen from our area ans 16 stolen vehicles recovered in our area.  Most of these crime are being done Monday-Friday during regular business hours (9-5).  If you are home, be a good neighbor and pay attention to your neighborhood.

  3. The Urban Forester, Bill Rutherford, has announced a new program concerning trees on your lot. They are now planting smaller trees in parking strips. One year later you can request a larger tree be planted six feet in from the sidewalk. In either case, you have to sign an agreement stating that the tree belongs to the city, but you will care for it.

  4. The crime report for September showed 1 aggravated assault, 2 car strips, 11 auto thefts, 7 burglaries, 9 car prowls, 4 gang related, 1 arson, and 2 sexual assaults. We have a new contact officer. His name is Detective David Wierman, telephone number is 799-3312.

  5. We have received a request for zoning change improving the lots to the north of the Common Cents gas station on 700 North and Redwood Road. The developer wants to place a Mexican grocery store on that site. It will be discussed at this meeting. This was proposed some time ago and it was rejected on the grounds that we already have enough. Please be present.
