Services previously provided by UPD — like canyon patrol — will now return to the sole jurisdiction of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera will no longer oversee the Unified Police Department, starting July 1, the two law enforcement agencies announced in a joint news release on Monday.that the department would grow to become the county’s main law enforcement agency.
However, according to a Monday news release, UPD member communities — which include Holladay, Millcreek, Emigration, Kearns, Magna and Brighton — elected to continue their agreement with UPD, but under the direction of a governing board. The separation will mean many services the sheriff’s office provided through UPD – such as SWAT, canyon patrol, and search and rescue — will return to the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office. These services were initially provided by UPD so participating UPD communities could share costs, saving local governments money and reducing the tax burden on residents.
