Davis County sheriff's quarterly report: patrol hours steady, vehicle burglaries flagged as preventable
Summary
A Davis County Sheriff's Office presenter told the council that patrol hours in South Weber are roughly consistent with prior years, dispatch calls are down while field-initiated incidents are above average, and vehicle burglaries across the region remain the chief property-crime concern.
A representative of the Davis County Sheriff's Office gave a quarterly presentation to the South Weber City Council covering January through August 2025 patrol and incident statistics.
The presenter said total patrol hours were generally consistent with the three-year average, that field-initiated incidents were above average while dispatch calls appeared to be down, and that citations overall tracked close to historical averages. The presenter gave specific citation totals from the report (a listed total of 139 citations on the report, including 73 moving violations, 23 non-moving violations and 32 written warnings) and noted 72 speeding stops with 64 resulting in citations.
Property and vehicle burglaries were a focus of the presentation. The presenter said a rash of vehicle burglaries has affected the Wasatch Front from Ogden to Salt Lake and Davis counties and emphasized that many incidents are preventable by locking vehicles, not leaving keys in cars and removing valuables. "Please please please help us out and help out yourselves," the presenter urged the public.
On investigations and victim services the presenter said the department logged the equivalent of 70 investigative hours with 39 new cases reported in the quarter, noted a small uptick in special victims unit investigations and said victim advocates recorded about 29.75 hours serving 24 victims (17 new, 7 ongoing).
Council members asked whether the sheriff's office could produce hotspot maps or monthly reports showing where citations occur; the presenter said location fields are logged on citations and extraction is possible but cautioned about personal-data limits and the analytical usefulness of heat maps with small local counts. The presenter reiterated that deputies are required each shift to perform neighborhood checks, business checks and traffic enforcement.
The council did not take formal action on the report; the presentation served as information for ongoing patrol and public-safety planning.
