Davis County deputy: patrol hours up, Q1 saw 310 citations and mostly noncriminal incidents

Elizabeth Pinto, an investigative analyst for the Davis County Sheriff's Office, told South Weber's council the department's patrol hours for the first quarter of 2025 were above the three‑year average and that data remain live and may update through June.

Pinto said the office recorded 310 citations in the quarter — including 129 moving violations — and detailed that 86 speeding events produced 70 citations and 16 written warnings. "During that 1st 0.25, we had a total of 310 citations, of which 1 resulted in a booking of an individual," Pinto said. She added that more than 97% of incidents were noncriminal and that criminal matters in the quarter included two death investigations, 10 person crimes, 10 property crimes and four crimes against society.

Council members pressed for location‑specific detail on where speeding occurred, noting concerns about collector and residential streets where children ride bicycles. Pinto said the earlier hot‑spot map had been an ad‑hoc product and that the department can prepare updated location reports if the council requests them. She also described a recent change in victim‑services tracking: staff began live tracking hours in February, which affects Q1 totals; Pinto said victim advocates recorded nearly 25 hours of direct support in the tracked period.
