Subject: Re: 5-4-22 re: stats on home invasion crimes in Utah

May 10, 2022

Dear Utah Department of Public Safety Public Information Officer and Sergeant Cameron Roden,

Thank you for your May 9 reply letter (below). Your reply indicates that the Utah Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Identification does not compile statistics on the total number of reported cases of alleged home-invasion crimes that occur each year in Utah, and specifically in Salt Lake County, Utah.

Does your state law-enforcement agency's Bureau of Criminal Identification participate in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's "Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program"? If so, has the FBI or any other federal agency ever advised the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification of the possible need to specifically cite "Home Invasion Crimes" as a category of crime for which that division of your Utah DPS compiles data?

I would also like to politely point out that the Attorney General of California  at that state agency's official website repeatedly cites "home invasion" crimes as a category of crime occurring and being specifically cited as "home invasions" in that far western state. https://oag.ca.gov/search-results/?query=home+invasion+crimes

Does Utah Commissioner of Public Safety Jess L. Anderson, who presides over the goals and activities of each of his Utah DPS divisions or bureaus, have the legal authority to require that the Utah DPS Bureau of Identification on an ongoing basis compile statistics and other data in regard to each and every home-invasion crime that reportedly occurs anywhere in Utah?

Thank you in advance, Sgt. Roden, for your helpful reply note to me on this.

Sincerely and Best Wishes, 
former Texas Department of Public Safety full-time clerical staff member John Kevin McMillan.

I have talked with BCI, who is the keeper of Utah's crime report.  I will include what they sent me below.  They only keep burglary stats and don't break them out by home invasion.  You can look up the crime report on the Bureau of Criminal Identifications (BCI) website if you want to look into things a little deeper.  

Cameron,
The historical crime reports found here do have a page that shows some information on burglary in general, but not "home invasion".

The Crime in Utah Dashboard will only have a count of how many burglaries have been reported, but it won't show the type.
I hope that helps.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Dear Utah DPS Public Information Officer Roden,

Best Wishes to you in your people-friendly and informative style on behalf of the Utah Department of Public Safety.

Does the Utah DPS maintain statewide statistics for reported home-invasion crimes in Utah, along with countywide statistics for Salt Lake County, Utah? If so, what is the most recent calendar year for which your Utah DPS has obtained those annual home-invasion-crimes statistics for all of Utah and for Salt Lake County, Utah, and what has the recent multi-year trend been on incidence of home-invasion crimes statewide and in Salt Lake County, Utah?

My follow-up question would be: Does your very influential state law-enforcement agency have the most recent statistics on the racial identity, previous-criminal-conviction-record status, current nation of citizenship, gender identity, sexual identity, age group, marital status, illicit-drug-addiction status, alcohol-addiction status, or level of inebriation at time of arrest of the individuals who during the most recent applicable calendar year were arrested and formally charged with having a committed a home-invasion crime specifically in Salt Lake County, Utah?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply message to me on this.

Best Wishes from a dependably civil and law-abiding and very honest and vigilant single adult white longtime-celibate-by-choice male 65-year-old opponent of any and all home-invasion crimes. I am also a strong supporter of increased criminal-law penalties for any and all home-invasion crimes in Utah that involve inter-racial rape or any type of sexual or physical assault  victimizing or medical injury to an approved home-owner or approved occupant inside their own home or to an approved rental-housing-unit tenant or approved rental-housing-unit occupant who is asleep and unconscious inside his or her unit at the time of those home-invasion crimes.
