| Description | The Scroll newspaper has been in print since 1905, when BYU-Idaho was known as the Ricks Academy, a locally run school with a newly-developed high school program. At the time this newspaper was known as the “Student Rays,” and was printed monthly. In 1933 the name of the newspaper changed to “The Purple Flash.” In 1937 the name was changed again to “Viking Flashes,” and in 1938 the name finally changed to “The Viking Scroll.” The paper continued under this name until 1972, when it changed to “The Scroll.” The Scroll is still in print at BYU-Idaho as its official newspaper. |

DAVID BITTON / Scroll STICKY FINGERS — Rexburg Police Officer Ron Larson fingerprints Scroll writer Jennifer Warnick. She went through the steps of being arrested and charged for a crime to better understand the process. To serve and protect Police work takes strong desire to help people BY JENNIFER WARNICK Scroll staff Police. Flashing lights and images of blue-clad officers chasing down criminals and eating boxes of jelly donuts come to mind, and at the same time a song - a rather catchy tune, "Bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when they come for you?" It turns out, however, that police work is not always as it seems (especially on television). Surprised? Officer Ron Larson of the Rexburg City Police Department is not surprised in the least. In fact, he does not even like jelly donuts. In real life it takes a lot to join the ranks of law enforcement ... sometimes an extra desire to help people. Larson, a police officer of nine years thoroughly enjoys his job, which he says most ly deals with the public. "People either really like (their job) or they don't. There's not much in between. They generally don't last if they don't like it" Larson said. Josh Voreyer, a former Ricks student, has taken his criminal justice degree to new heights. He is currently working as a security guard for the Oakland Calif. Temple, and plans to become a police officer. " I believe police officers are a kind of curb-side social worker. They do good for and the people" Voreyer said. What exactly does it take to become a law enforcement officer? The criteria differ from state to state, but often the requirements are similar. Many states require only a high school diploma, but the more education, the more competitive an applicant and the better chance he will have of moving up. The first step is to apply. Applicants are given a basic written test and a test for physical agility. Once past this step, the applicants are given an extensive background check which sometimes includes a polygraph (lie detector) test. Most Recent crime outbreak in Idaho Falls changes small-town atmosphere BY SARAH MONSON Special projects editor For students who came to Ricks College with the assumption that southeastern Idaho was a completely crime-free environment, the recent spate of violent crimes in Idaho Falls and the surrounding towns seems surprisingly more representative of major metropolitan areas than sleepy Mormon communities. Local headlines daily tell of murders, molestations, burglaries, drug trafficking and fraud, and although Idaho Falls is growing, the population swell is hardly enough to account for the sudden increase in serious crime. According to statistical analysis released by the U.S. Census Bureau, Idaho's population grew at a rate of 18.1 percent from 1990 to 1996, making it one of the ten fastest growing states. By the year 2000, it is expected to grow another 13 percent. Idaho's population is also making a steady shift from a rural to an urban environment. FBI statistics for 1995 also show that Idaho's crime rate has been slowly rising since 1993, while the crime rates of other western states has declined. Fremont County, which in 1995 had a population of 10,937, recorded 226 serious crimes in that year, eight of them violent, giving the area an overall crime rate of 1.95 crimes per 100 citizens. Madison County is almost one-fourth the size of Fremont and Bonneville but has a population of 23,674, more than double that of Fremont. Its participating law enforcement agencies reported 737 serious crimes and 12 violent ones, with a rate of 2.985 per 100. Bonneville is the most densely populated of the three counties, with a resident population of 72,207 and a correspondingly high rate of 4.672 per 100. The list of serious crimes and punishments within the last week alone is long for a town of Idaho Falls' size. On Friday,, an unidentified man in a ski mask stole two cars and got away after an armed robbery of the Bank of Commerce in Ririe. Of the five bank robberies Idaho Falls has dealt with since last July, one of which featured a man in a Santa Claus suit holding up an Ammon bank in December, only one has been solved. Also on Friday, a judge laid down strict probation orders for a former Blackfoot man who pled guilty to two counts of sexual abuse of a child under 16. Three men, aged 17, 18 and 19, were arrested Wednesday night and charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery for allegedly holding up a pizza restaurant employee and taking $1,800 in cash and checks. Twenty-six people were arrested Feb. 10 in a drug bust netting methamphetamine, marijuana and cocaine and exposing a drug ring that spans the Snake River valley. Two weeks ago, four men were arrested in the shooting murder of 16-year-old Idaho Falls High School student David Thompson. On Jan. 8, 19-year-old Abbey Rhoades was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of her infant son, whose body was found in a trash bin. the community, the environment please see POLICE, Page 16 please see CRIME Page 22 R E X B U R G .
