Our thoughts and prayers are with K-9 Bruno, his handler, and the entire Park City Police Department family during this difficult time.

Bruno is a brave partner who serves our community, and we are praying for his recovery. We are grateful to the medical personnel, Life Flight crew, Utah Highway Patrol, and everyone who stepped in to help.

Please join us in sending support and positive thoughts to Bruno and his handler.

******Media Release******
Earlier today, a Park City Police K-9 handler and K-9 Bruno responded to assist the Utah Highway Patrol with a suspicious package near the Highway 40/I-80 interchange.
While assessing the package, Bruno jumped from the freeway overpass and sustained serious injuries. Medical personnel immediately began caring for Bruno, and Life Flight transported him to an emergency veterinary hospital in Salt Lake City for treatment.
Bruno is more than a police K-9 - he is a partner, a member of our department, and an important part of the Park City Police family. Our thoughts are with Bruno and his handler as he receives the care he needs.
We are incredibly grateful to the medical personnel, Life Flight crew, Utah Highway Patrol, and everyone who stepped in to help.
We know our community cares deeply about Bruno, and we will share additional information about his condition when we are able.

We remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the families forever changed.

May we never forget September 11, 2001, and the strength, courage, and unity that followed.

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

Scammers are getting creative and they may even pretend to be a local law enforcement officer.

We recently received an email from a woman who was contacted by someone claiming to be one of our deputies. Thankfully, she recognized something was not right and reached out to us.

Don’t be a victim. Stop. Think. Verify.

If someone calls claiming to be a deputy or law enforcement officer and demands money, gift cards, personal information, or immediate payment, don’t panic and don’t pay. Take a moment to verify who you are talking to.

When in doubt, contact our office directly using an official phone number, not a number provided by the caller.

Stay alert. Stay informed. Stay scam smart.

Last week, the Summit County/Park City SWAT Team competed in the Mountain States SWAT Training and Competition in Utah County, a three-day event featuring tactical training, shooting events and scenario-based exercises.

Twenty-three teams from across the Western United States competed, with the Summit/PC SWAT Team finishing 7th overall and among the top-performing teams from Utah.

The team’s strong performance reflects its ongoing commitment to rigorous training and maintaining an elite level of readiness to respond to dangerous and high-level incidents in Summit County.

We’re proud of their hard work, dedication and commitment to protecting our community.
