Boss Godfrey's Crime Reduction Squad Reportedly Takes a Bite Outta Ogden Crime

Crime in the city down 14% and 17% in two recent months... according to "Crime-fighter Godfrey"

By Curmudgeon

Just want to note, briefly, that the Standard-Examiner has three interesting gang crime stories up this morning. Two on the front page, both by Sam Cooper, can be found here and here. The unit is having a significant impact in the central city, community residents are becoming involved in crime control, and crime in the city overall was down 14% and 17% according to the Mayor in two recent months.

And in the Top of Utah section, another story reporting that gangs are moving to the suburbs to escape the increasing heat put on them by urban police gang units. Good news for Ogden, not so good for Clearfield. The story is here.

Of late, the Std-Ex has been doing some good reporting on gangs in Ogden.

Ed. Note: And wasn't it just last Thursday that we openly queried: "Whatever happened to Godfrey's 'zero tolerance policy'?"
