“I have much respect for the police officers. There's a lot going on, and they can't get to everything," said Madsen.

We talked about moving, but we really like Sandy because it was close to the mountains, close to the freeway, and we felt like it was a really safe place to raise our kids, but now we are veering off because it’s starting to get a little bit scarier," said Madsen.Stay Connected
