SALT LAKE POLICE
Salt Lake City police Chief Rick Dinse has had a memorable five years at his post, given the 2002 Winter Olympics and the Elizabeth Smart and Lori Hacking cases. But by early next year, he will retire back home in Los Angeles.
Arriving at a time when the Police Department was in disarray, Dinse worked to build morale, communication and community policing. He came down hard on officers who behaved badly, but often responded in person when someone called for backup.
He earned the respect of his boss, Mayor Rocky Anderson, and rank-and-file officers.
SEXUAL VIOLENCE
One in eight Utah women will be raped sometime during her lifetime. And one in three Utah women will experience some form of sexual violence - child molestation being the most common, according to a new report released Thursday by the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice.
Rape is the only violent crime in Utah whose rate exceeds the national average. By comparison, Utah's rates for other violent crimes - such as murder, robbery or aggravated assault - are historically half to a third of the national average, according to the report, "Rape in Utah: A Survey of Utah Women About Their Experience with Sexual Violence."
HOMELAND SECURITY
The Department of Homeland Security will dispatch a team to Skull Valley Goshute Indian reservation this week to assess the security and emergency response measures that would be needed if a nuclear dump is built in Utah's west desert. It is a step that Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch and Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. had been seeking for months, hoping to create new barriers for the nuclear storage facility proposed by Private Fuel Storage, a group of electric utilities.
PFS proposes storing 44,000 tons of nuclear waste.
