Rural Crimes Initiative

What is the Rural Crimes Initiative?

It is a Crime Watch and reporting program designed to include Federal and County law enforcement in partnership with citizens and industry to address crime issues in rural areas of San Juan County.
It enables all concerned to be “force multipliers” in observing, tracking and ultimately apprehending those responsible for committing crimes in rural areas.

Because of the widely dispersed and varied industrial and agricultural entities within San Juan County.
Not enough officers to cover the 2600 approximate square miles of gas well areas.
Criminals prey on areas of low police presence, especially in areas with oil and gas production.
We know that we cannot succeed without industry and citizen help.
Let criminals know that our citizens and industry are active in fighting crime.
