We will not tolerate any activity that fuels crime and erodes public trust. I hope there is an immediate impact following this search warrant that will help return a sense of community and safety to the Ballpark neighborhood.

New Orleans is a resilient city with a strong police department that has supported us before, and we are committed to supporting them now. My full statement about the tragedy that unfolded early this morning in New Orleans.

My message to our police family this Thanksgiving. Thank you for your service. Happy Thanksgiving. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

I’m proud of how our officers handled this incident. They approached this tragic situation with compassion and took steps to help by providing the man with clothing and blankets to warm him up while they waited for paramedics.

Our officers and detectives are working to gather as much information about these two incidents. We are asking people to avoid both locations as we work to stabilize the scenes. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

I had the honor of celebrating Veterans Day with those who have served. It’s important we never forget the work of our veterans. Our country is stronger — and freedom and democracy is preserved because of their many sacrifices. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

Recently, the Director of our Community Connection Team (CCT), which houses our case managers and licensed clinical social workers, had the honor of joining a panel at the #IACP2024 conference to discuss using the 9-8-8 crisis line as a tool for behavioral health diversion from police response. During the presentation, she focused on the value of collaborating with 9-8-8 and community health partners, and the importance of raising awareness among frontline officers about the services 988 provides. We are proud to highlight that we were one of the first police departments in the nation to include social workers in our work to better serve the community. Our program has gained national recognition, and we’ve been invited to participate in events across the country because of work. We remains committed to being a pioneer in developing new and innovative ways to help those living with mental health needs. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity #IACP

The loud booms heard in the salt lake valley are from Tooele Army Depot, they are conducting detonations in the south range & will soon wrap up. No threat.

I mourn the death of Harris County Pct. 4 Constable Deputy Maher Husseini and Dallas Police Officer Darron Burks.   My prayers are with their families, friends, and colleagues.   Officer Burks and Deputy Husseni will be remembered as guardians of their Texas communities.

We are urging people to celebrate college football season responsibly. Each year, we receive an influx of public order-related calls during football season. We work closely with @UUtah and others to conduct outreach. Link: slcpd.com/2024/08/29/slc… #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

Today, we hosted our seventh annual back-to-school Police Pay-it-Forward event. @slcschools selected 30 students from Escalante Elementary School to shop for school supplies and clothing with our officers. Link: slcpd.com/2024/08/17/slc… #SaltLakeCity #SLC #SLCPD

Second chances, in the appropriate circumstances, can help reduce recidivism. We are committed to helping people overcome past mistakes by improving the expungement system by working with other law enforcement agencies and state lawmakers. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

We had a great time visiting with the Clift family during National Night Out Against Crime. Thanks for having us and for being part of our community’s safety efforts for the last 29 years. Let’s keep working together towards a safer tomorrow! #SaltLakeCity #SLC #SLCPD

Congratulations, Utah! We can’t wait to once again welcome the world for the 2034 Winter Olympics. We are incredibly proud of Team USA and the delegation who worked so hard to make this possible. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

It is truly an honor to meet the families along the Days of 47 parade route. Our police officers will be out throughout the night into Wednesday morning to help ensure a safe time for anyone. I hope everyone has a safe night. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

Very proud of our police officers and @slcfire for their initial response to this incident. Their efforts saved lives and property; we should all be deeply appreciative of their service. Residents should remain on alert should conditions change.

Today, we celebrated the conclusion of our 2024 summer ‘Golf with a Cop’ program at the Glendale Golf Course in partnership with the Salt Lake City Police Foundation. Link: slcpd.com/2024/07/17/slc… #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity #CommunityPolicing #GolfWithACop

Our detectives are determined to identify everyone involved in this murder. We will not tolerate witness tampering or intimidation. I urge people to come forward if they have any information about the others involved. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

Thank you, Salt Lake City! This Pride Weekend, we came together to showcase our love, respect, and compassion. I’m so proud of the incredible @slcpd team. They worked hard to keep the Pride parade and festival safe and they deserve our gratitude. #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity
