Odessa in 1981 saw sweeping power shifts with new district attorney and sheriff, a new city police chief, and bold budget increases. Burglary and violent crime rose, housing booms and annexation debates surged, while a deadly oilfield accident and refinery blast highlighted a year of upheaval and cautious recovery.
