It’s always a privilege for our officers to spend time with the kids in our community and help them start the school year feeling excited, supported, and confident.

🇺🇸🎆 FIREWORK SAFETY REMINDER FROM LAVERKIN CITY 🎆🇺🇸

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, we want to remind everyone that Governor Cox’s Executive Order 2026-04 prohibits the discharge of personal fireworks within municipal boundaries due to extreme drought conditions and the elevated wildfire risk throughout Utah.

The safety of our residents, homes, businesses, and surrounding public lands remains our highest priority. With dry conditions across Southern Utah, a single spark can have serious consequences for our community.

🚫 Personal fireworks are prohibited within LaVerkin City limits

👮 Law enforcement officers will be actively enforcing this order. Violations may result in fines of up to $1,000.

We encourage everyone to celebrate safely by attending one of the many professional fireworks displays being held throughout the area. These events provide a great opportunity to enjoy the holiday while helping reduce the risk of wildfire.

We know our community takes pride in looking out for one another, and we appreciate your cooperation as we work together to keep LaVerkin safe this holiday weekend.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

4-9-5: PENALTY:
Any person, firm, or corporatiop violating: a) the date and time restrictions for discharging fireworks, as set forth in section 4-9-3 of this chapter, shall be guilty of an infraction; and b) any other provision of this chapter, or the provisions of section 53-7-226, Utah Code Annotated (1953, as amended), shall be guilty of a class B misdemeanor.

Today, the La Verkin City Police Department would like to recognize and thank our dedicated Animal Control team for the incredible work they do in our community.

From rescuing lost and injured animals to ensuring public safety and promoting responsible pet ownership, Animal Control plays a vital role in keeping both our residents and animals safe. Their compassion, patience, and commitment make a difference every single day.

Whether it’s responding to calls in all conditions, reuniting pets with their families, or advocating for the wellbeing of animals who cannot speak for themselves—your efforts do not go unnoticed.

To our Animal Control officers: thank you for your hard work, your heart, and your service to La Verkin City. We appreciate all that you do!

Today, the La Verkin Police Department would like to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank our incredible dispatchers.

Behind every call for service, every emergency response, and every officer in the field, there is a calm, steady voice guiding the way. Our dispatchers are the first point of contact in moments of crisis, providing reassurance to our community and critical information to our officers.

Their professionalism, quick thinking, and dedication do not go unnoticed. They work tirelessly—often behind the scenes—to ensure the safety of both the public and our personnel.

To our dispatch team: thank you for your commitment, your resilience, and the vital role you play every single day. We truly could not do this job without you.
