| 4. | YOUTH CITIZEN PRESENTATION BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT - OFFICER HACKWORTH Chief Whinham first introduced Arko who has just completed his patrol certifications in officer patrol and drug interdiction and achieved the highest ranking in both areas. Arko has been a canine unit with his handler for less than a year and together just took third place in the West Valley Trials, a handler program. In the last two weeks, Arko has been patrolling with his handler. Officer Ponton, who has been with Roy City Police Department for four years, introduced Arko who is a 2 y/o Sable German Shepherd from Hungary. Arko is trained in four odors of narcotics; cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine. He recently discovered a small amount of marijuana and trace methamphetamine in a storage shed which provided helpful information to the police department. Officer Stuart Hackworth reported that on August 26 a call was received concerning a burglary in process. Neighbors reported that a bicycle was stolen from a garage by two males; one with a bicycle, one without. After 15 to 20 minutes of checking the area, nothing was found. Officer Hackworth was leaving the area when he saw two kids that he recognized from his work in the schools; Matt Odell and Randy Bosfor. The two boys, who were on bicycles, were headed toward the area Officer Hackworth had just come from. Officer Hackworth told the boys what had happened and asked them to keep their eyes out and let the police know if they saw anything. Two-and-a-half hours later a call was made requesting that the police respond back to the area where the bike was stolen. Officer Hackworth responded back to the area and was told that Matt and Randy had gathered their friends together to search for the bike. The group of friends saw a person on a bicycle that matched the description of the stolen bicycle. The persons who had stolen the bicycle fled and it was discovered that three bicycles had been stolen that evening. The bicycles were recovered and returned to the children who owned them. The police department wanted, in turn, to recognize the dedicated young citizens for a job well done in helping the community to be a better place. Randy Bosfor, Matt Odell, Michael Yeoman, Tara Yeoman, Dallas Olsen, Jacob Gallegos, Jonathan Oram, Skyler Olsen, Sylvia Bybee and Rebecca Bybee were all given a certificate of recognition and a gift certificate to Hollywood Video. Officer Hackworth once again thanked the young citizens for the role they played in returning the bikes to their original owners. |
