Kaysville Police Department offers tips for their community

Sep 02, 2022 11:28AM ● By Cindi Mansell

Kaysville police officers handled 848 calls for service and made 37 arrests during the month of July. The department wants to send a safety reminder that when driving, always drive with caution, give enough time and always look at your mirrors before and after when passing other cars or lanes. Always slow down for traffic and construction and don’t text and drive. Always be safe and drive smart.

Stay focused traveling through work zones and pay very close attention. Traffic will occur at these work zones and drivers need to avoid all distractions to reduce car accidents. As one member of the public clarified “work zones are a French fry free area.”

If you see an emergency vehicle stopped along a roadway with flashing lights: Immediately slow down and move over if you can safely do so. Switch to a lane that’s not immediately next to the emergency vehicle, if possible.

Seasons change. One thing shouldn’t: Always drive sober.

Sexual Assault warnings 

Kaysville PD also offered sexual assault information to be aware of:

• 1 in 2 women in Utah will experience sexual violence during her lifetime.

• Utah has the 12th highest sexual assault rate in the nation, well above the national average.

• 87% of sexual assault victims know the person that assaulted them.

 Only 12% of sexual assaults are reported to the police below in Utah, below the national average of 34%. The graphs included show statistical data for Utah.

And finally, the Kaysville PD encourages the public to join them via Livestream for the 2022 National Faith & Blue Weekend Press Conference. The National Faith & Blue Weekend 2022 is set to take place Friday, October 7 through Monday, October 10. Faith & Blue is four days of locally organized community-officer engagement as part of the nation’s largest annual collaborative policing initiative.
