SOUTH JORDAN Detectives with the West Jordan Police Department are investigating after a South Jordan police officers vehicle was vandalized sometime on the Fourth of July.

The officer was parked in the driveway of his West Jordan home when someone spray-painted the words Black Lives Matter in bright red along the side of his car.

West Jordan Police Sgt. J.C. Holt doesnt think the person who did this is connected to the Black Lives Matter movement in any way.

He felt its probably someone looking to create chaos and division.

Its not out of the ordinary to see a police car vandalized in some way, but whats different about this one is that it was done at the officers home.

Its concerning to me, Holt said. And I think if you were to speak with most officers on a personal level, they would tell you that its concerning. Fortunately for us, we havent had this happening. It wouldnt be fair to say that weve had a lot of this. This is the first incident weve had in our city where something has happened to a police car.

Holt also said there arent any home security cameras where this happened, so they dont have it on video.

Within the South Jordan Police Department, the message has gone out to officers to maybe park inside their garage if theyre able to.

If you have any information on who may have done this, West Jordan police would like to hear from you at (801) 256-2000.
