Crime Prevention
Citizen involvement is essential to combat crime. You and your neighbors are the ones who really know what is going on in your community and by cooperating with each other and the police, people can help fight crime in the most effective way-before it begins!
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program which enlists the active participation of citizens in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce crime and fear of crime in communities. It involves neighbors getting to know each other and working together. It also involves citizens being trained to recognize and report suspicious activities in their neighborhoods and learning and implementing crime prevention techniques.
To find your nearest Neighborhood Watch or start a neighborhood watch program in your area, please contact the Tooele City Police Department Crime Prevention Division at 435.882.8900.

Crossing guards are hired on an as needed basis, usually at the beginning of the school year, which is in August. Most elementary schools have crossing guards as part of their school safety plans, so the crossing guards follow the schedule of each individual elementary school. If you are interested in becoming a crossing guard or receiving notifications when crossing guard jobs become available, visit the Tooele City Human Resources Employment & Volunteer Opportunities page.
In order to dispute a traffic citation, or other notice of violation, you must make an appeal to the Tooele City Recorder. You can find more information about the appealing process by visiting the Request for Appeals & Administrative Hearings Page of our website.
