     In 1998, our agency looked at the benefits of the car per man system and costs associated with it.  Many agencies throughout the United States have implemented the car per man system to have vehicles last longer by saving wear and tear, provide for more visibility in the community to assist in crime prevention, and to enable officers to respond to multiple crimes occurring at the same time.

      There are times that we have crimes occur at the same time in which different officers are sent to separate calls to handle the incidents.  At different times in a day, our agency will be transporting prisoners from the jail or to court while another officer is patrolling in the City.  In 2001, Helper Justice Court went onto the statewide warrant system in which we now travel throughout Utah transporting prisoners arrested on our warrants back to Carbon County to face criminal charges.  Yes, if you have a warrant out of Helper City, these warrants will show up in any part of our state.

      In 1998, we changed our striping on the vehicles to what appears in the picture above on the right.  In 2006, when we updated four patrol vehicles, we went to the latest graphics which is the above left picture.  

      In 2006, Helper City received grant funding from the USDA Rural Development and also from P.C.I.B. to purchase four hazmat response vehicles.  Our new vehicles are Silver Birch in color (a change from white) and have an entire new decal look to them.  Overhead lights were not put on these vehicles, instead we went with a new LED system which provides more light and less draw of power from the vehicle.  With overheads, we were constantly changing out alternators, light bulbs, gears, and motors that would wear out.  With the new LED system, we have been told that we will not have the power problems we had, no more changing light bulbs, totally maintenance free.  The windows on the vehicles were also tinted to assist the officers during summer months so that the interior does not get so hot.   Helper City Police Department is committed to the Community and Police Working Together.
