Cities and townships in Salt Lake County now plan to take less time than allowed to figure out the future of their policing.
and signed by the governor removes the Salt Lake County sheriff as CEO of the Unified Police Department and dissolves the agency in 2025. The UPD board wants to finish that work a year earlier.
As the bill made its way through the Legislature this past session, several mayors of townships and cities that contract with Unified police spoke against the bill early in the session. Some changed their tune after an amendment added protections for current Unified officers who transfer to the county sheriff's office before July 1, 2025.
UPD currently serves Midvale, Millcreek, Holladay, Kearns, Magna, Copperton, White City, Brighton and Emigration Canyon. "That will set the table, and we will have a year to figure out, what does this new organization actually look like? And have that implemented, again being the goal by July 1, 2024," the board chairman said.
