[speaker002:] you're in a little different situation I think we're going to set the record in Dallas this year for murders
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yes uh
[speaker001:] there's been a lot
[speaker002:] yes uh the uh and they're mostly drug linked here but
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] we have  um I really I think we had like four hundred and eighty
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] more than one a day
[speaker001:] my word is that an increase over any of the previous years is that the highest
[speaker002:] oh yeah it just keeps going higher and higher we're going to have a we're going to set a record for us but possibly will be the deadliest place to live in the nation
[speaker001:] my word  uh-huh in the whole nation
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] wow that's terrible does that does that worry you at all
[speaker002:] yeah extremely I carry tear gas yeah
[speaker001:] do you that's great do you are you out alone at night often or
[speaker002:] that not for for that reason no
[speaker001:] oh now does now is it mostly in certain areas that it happens or just
[speaker002:] oh yes um you know crime is um I think crimes against property are more common uh you know they're common fairly common all over uh
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] you know the some it's kind of funny uh we've just moved from a a low crime area because it's got great police to a higher crime area
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] but
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] I had a I had a pickup truck sitting out by my house with uh all my furniture in it for a week and it wasn't touched
[speaker001:] uh-huh my word huh
[speaker002:] so I don't know what you define as uh you know uh for being in an unsafe a less safe area
[speaker001:] right uh-huh
[speaker002:] it's there no telling uh
[speaker001:] my word huh well that I know that um we're a little bit in the same Salt Lake City is
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] is about an hour away from us and they have had an increase a big increase in the number of murders this year too and they said that um the murders have been on the rise where some of the other crimes have either stayed the same or declined but the more violent crimes like rapes and murders have you know increased and I and I think like you said it's a lot linked to the drugs to the drug
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] scene and um of course the little community we live in we don't have too many
[speaker002:] you don't well you have it believe me but you might not you don't it's not as prevalent I don't
[speaker001:] right right I'm sure that there's uh we do have one policeman you know that that runs the that is the law enforcement here and um
[speaker002:] one
[speaker001:] right we're real small and he's only been hired for about a year before that we didn't even have one
[speaker002:] how big what's the population
[speaker001:] um I think there's a hundred and seventy families and I'm not sure eight hundred maybe seven hundred seven hundred or eight hundred is the population
[speaker002:] well the one person who might snort cocaine in town probably isn't very violent
[speaker001:] so no no we do have um just up to the south of us there's an area called Docks Flat and it's up in the mountains and a lot of the the kids go up there for their beer parties and
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] you know drugs and that and that's probably the biggest problem we have right here in the community is is these kids coming up up a canyon here and going up south for that kind of a thing and that brings a lot of
[speaker002:] are they local
[speaker001:] no no they're from oh from the communities around us
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] mostly so so they're not in town folks and that that brings in a lot of problems spots but um have you ever been the victim of any type of a crime whether a burglary or
[speaker002:] oh I had a I had a two eighty or three hundred Z X that uh I used to have the windows replaced on that that I say monthly three times though
[speaker001:] um-hum you're kidding
[speaker002:] they were stolen from I have three dogs three large barking fierce looking not fierce but fierce looking dogs
[speaker001:] uh-huh  oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] that um that sleep very soundly it would appear but uh just from my driveway
[speaker001:] oh oh that's a good idea that probably deters a lot of
[speaker002:] oh well my truck I was telling you about was next to the dog pen
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh that was probably the reason
[speaker002:] but I think it does but it's um that you know these are nice they don't they don't catch a lot of things
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] I think if it's uh if someone's coming to case your house and they knock on the door they're going to draw a response from the dogs but if someone walked around my house
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh yeah
[speaker002:] my dogs sleep so soundly during the day too that they wouldn't know
[speaker001:] oh oh well do you um do you have signs posted that you know say
[speaker002:] yeah I've got signs that say my house is protected by a security system
[speaker001:] oh that's good
[speaker002:] they're lies but you know
[speaker001:] it might deter them well they say that that deters a lot a lot of would be you know burglaries
[speaker002:] that what's a what's a crime like there
[speaker001:] um I'd probably have to go to one of the bigger
