Description of the Problem

Lindon is uniquely situated between two communities with higher than average levels of violent crime. With two major thoroughfares connecting those communities, a large number of criminals make their way through our small jurisdiction. Because we are smaller geographically, we are smaller in staffing numbers. While this means our officers cover a larger variety of types of calls for service, we want to ensure that their skills stay sharp by offering training that enhances their already broad skill sets. Additionally, we want to ensure that our officers stay safe as they patrol our community and reduce the amount of violent crime that occurs here.

How do you anticipate that the requested assistance will address the problems?
Because the reduction of violent crimes can be addressed in various ways (some of which is through tactics that also promote officer safety) we anticipate that instruction given in these areas will help our skilled officers enhance the training they have through years of service and other learning platforms. We anticipate that the training will reinforce the leadership traits our agency already values and relies on due to it's smaller size.
