MOHAVE COUNTY SUPERVISOR CALLS FOR FEDERAL

ACTION AGAINST FLDS AND CONTROLLED COPSBuster Johnson, supervisor, District 3 of Mohave County, Arizona responded today to media reports that

theUtah Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, based on the contents of an intercepted letter, hasvoted to conduct a probe of the entire Hildale/Colorado City police force. The chief law enforcerin the two

border towns, Fred Barlow, has admitted to being the author of the letter to Warren Jeffs, whichFederal

authorities obtained on Oct. 28, 2005, when Jeffs' brother, Seth Jeffs, was arrested in Colorado.

This comes as no surprise to any of us who have been involved trying to help the women

and children of Colorado City. It has been no secret that the police force has always been

the enforcement arm for their prophet. The department has always been used to trackdown those brave enough to escape, monitor daily activities of the people, keep outsiders

out and as a harassment tool to keep those who are rebelling in line by arresting them on

bogus charges, placing women in mental institutions, facilitating the reassignment of wivesto new husbands and issuing citations for imagined traffic violations. Those who have

escaped and try to come back to visit family are especially targeted by so called law

enforcement. The FLDS has been protected by the department, especially when it comes tocrimes committed against those who have left. The comparisons to Hitler's SS are

uncanny.

The only thing that surprises me is that this letter comes as a surprise to anyone. We havebeen asking for help because of the obvious corruption of the Colorado City police for

years. Our requests have been ignored. Law enforcement representatives from the Federal,

state and county level have even gone on public record in support of the likes of Marshal

Sam Barlow when he was under investigation, a man who failed to report to the state over20 cases of child molestation reported to him.

When I posed the question as to whether we could decertify the entire department I was

told Arizona can only decertify one officer at a time. There are plenty more to take their

place. When you realize that this department has access to the same supposed secure andconfidential information as any other professional law enforcement agency it is

frightening. Their department has even been awarded homeland security grants for

equipment such as satellite phones. When you combine these with high tech weapons you

start to understand the tremendous and frightening power that is exerted over the people ofColorado City.

Its time for the Federal government to pull their heads out of the sand, quit sitting on theirhands and start processing the RICO Act against the FLDS.

Supervisor Johnson has been actively involved in the investigation of alleged abuses by thepolygamist community in the ten years since his election. He may be reached for

interviews or further comment at: 928-453-0724 [email protected]
