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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He felt its probably someone looking to create chaos and division.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Holt also said there arent any home security cameras where this happened, so they dont have it on video.<\/p>\n
Within the South Jordan Police Department, the message has gone out to officers to maybe park inside their garage if theyre able to.<\/p>\n
If you have any information on who may have done this, West Jordan police would like to hear from you at (801) 256-2000.<\/p>\n
