you're in a little different situation i think we're going to set the record in Dallas this year for murders
oh really
yes uh
there's been a lot
yes uh the uh and they're mostly drug linked here but
oh
we have
um i really i think we had like four hundred and eighty
uh-huh
more than one a day
my word is that an increase over any of the previous years is that the highest
oh yeah it just keeps going higher and higher we're going to have a we're going to set a record for us but possibly will be the deadliest place to live in the nation
my word
uh-huh
in the whole nation
yes
wow that's terrible does that does that worry you at all
yeah
extremely i carry tear gas yeah
do you that's great do you are you out alone at night often or
that not for for that reason no
oh now does now is it mostly in certain areas that it happens or just
oh yes um you know crime is um
i think crimes against property are more common uh you know they're common fairly common all over uh
right
you know the some it's kind of funny uh we've just moved from a a low crime area because it's got great police to a higher crime area
oh
but
oh
i had a i had a pickup truck sitting out by my house with uh all my furniture in it for a week and it wasn't touched
uh-huh
my word huh
so i don't know what you define as uh you know uh for being in an unsafe a less safe area
right
uh-huh
it's there no telling uh
my word huh well that i know that um we're a little bit in the same Salt Lake City is
um-hum
is about an hour away from us and they have had an increase a big increase in the number of murders this year too and they said that um
the murders have been on the rise where some of the other crimes have either stayed the same or declined but the more violent crimes like rapes and murders
have you know increased and i and i think like you said it's a lot linked to the drugs to the drug
uh-huh
scene and um of course the little community we live in we don't have too many
you don't well you have it believe me but you might not you don't it's not as prevalent i don't
right right i'm sure that there's
uh we do have one policeman you know that that runs the
that is the law enforcement here and um
one
right
we're real small and he's only been hired for about a year before that we didn't even have one
how big what's the population
um i think there's a hundred and seventy families and i'm not sure
eight hundred maybe seven hundred seven hundred or eight hundred is the population
well the one person who might snort cocaine in town probably isn't very violent
so
no no we do have um
just up to the south of us there's an area called Docks Flat and it's up in the mountains and a lot of the the kids go up there for their beer parties and
uh-huh
uh-huh
you know drugs and that and that's probably the biggest problem we have right here in the community is is these kids coming up up a canyon here and going up south for that kind of a thing and that brings a lot of
are they local
no no they're from
oh from the communities around us
uh-huh
mostly so so they're not in town folks and that that brings in a lot of problems spots
but um have you ever been the victim of any type of a crime whether a burglary or
oh i had a i had a two eighty or three hundred Z X that uh i used to have the windows replaced on that that i say monthly three times though
um-hum
you're kidding
they were stolen from i have three dogs three large barking fierce looking not fierce but fierce looking dogs
uh-huh
oh
uh-huh
that um that sleep very soundly it would appear but uh just from my driveway
oh oh that's a good idea
that probably deters a lot of
oh well my truck i was telling you about was next to the dog pen
uh-huh
oh that was probably the reason
but
i think it does but it's um that you know these are nice they don't they don't catch a lot of things
oh
i think if it's uh
if someone's coming to case your house and they knock on the door they're going to draw a response from the dogs but if someone walked around my house
uh-huh
oh yeah
my dogs sleep so soundly during the day too that they wouldn't know
oh
oh well do you um do you have signs posted that you know say
yeah i've got signs that say my house is protected by a security system
oh that's good
they're lies but you know
it might deter them well they say that that deters a lot a lot of would be you know burglaries
that what's a what's a crime like there
um
i'd probably have to go to one of the bigger
