  • 2016 Annual Report Message from the Chief of Police
    2016 Annual Report Message from the Chief of Police 1 Dear Provo Residents: 2016 was a year that many people in the United States would like to forget. Some segments of America seemed much more divided than any time in our recent history. From the negative tone of the Presidential campaign to tragic national events such as questionable police shootings of civilians and the murder of six Dallas Police Officers, many of us felt as if we were not connecting on a personal level. Last year was especially dangerous for police with a 56% increase in the number of police deaths caused by gunfire. Here in Provo we were fortunate not to have any officer seriously injured in an attack. But it was a stressful year for our officers and their families. In our City we have not seen the tension that is displayed elsewhere. There are many reasons for this to include the culture of the community, the training our officers receive, and the strong level of trust our residents have in their police. These things do not just happen by accident. Over the last three years, with the support of Mayor Curtis, we were able to dramatically increase the funding made available for our training. We increased our citizen involvement to include having residents on each of our hiring and promotional interview panels, which both provided transparency and displayed a commitment to community policing. Our profession was delighted to learn national surveys showed the American public had a very high level of trust in their local police – a Gallup survey actually reflected the highest approval rating since 1969.

  • Family Life and Marathon Running: Constraint, Cooperation, and Gender in a Leisure Activity
    Journal of Leisure Research Copyright 2011 2011, Vol. 43, No. 1, pp. 80-109 National Recreation and Park Association Family Life and Marathon Running: Constraint, Cooperation, and Gender in a Leisure Activity Todd L. Goodsell Brigham Young University Brian D. Harris Brigham Young University Abstract This qualitative study examines patterns in the ways families manage a family member’s involvement in amateur marathon running. Drawing on in- depth interviews (N = 46), we found that families generally used cooperative and egalitarian strategies to prevent or reduce family-leisure conflict. Research participants discussed how families affected running, how running affected families, how conflicts arose, how they dealt with conflicts, and issues of gender differences. Families both facilitate and constrain participation in this form of leisure, and both men and women manage gender in the context of leisure-family relationships. KEYWORDS: Running, family, leisure-family conflict, gender, cooperation Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Todd L.

  • Executive Order
    FOREWORD This document establishes the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for Provo City, Utah. This plan conforms to standards established by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and provides the basis for a systematic approach to the solution of problems created by the threat or occurrence of any type of emergency situation. The EOP identifies the responsibilities, functions, operational procedures, and working relationship among the various City departments, outside governmental entities, and private support groups. The EOP is divided into seven major sections: Basic Plan, Pandemic Influenza Response Plan, Departmental Annexes, Administrative Annexes, Operational Annexes, Business and Industry Annexes, and Specific Event Annexes. The following is an explanation of these sections: Basic Plan. The Basic Plan is an overview of Provo City’s approach to emergency management. It establishes the foundation for the City’s efforts in mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery in order to cope with an emergency situation. The plan cites the legal authority for emergency management, summarizes the City’s current situation, explains the general concept of operations, and assigns general responsibilities for emergency operations related to emergency situations. Pandemic Influenza Response Plan. This plan describes the roles and responsibilities of City departments in a local response to an influenza pandemic including: disease surveillance, the dispensing of vaccines and antiviral medication, and communications activities. Departmental Annexes. The Departmental Annexes provide specific information concerning the organization and response activities of individual City departments. These Annexes include the emergency operations plans of each department in a format that is similar to the City’s Basic Plan. Administrative Annexes. The Administrative Annexes provide information used in the mitigation, preparation, and recovery phases of emergency management.
