If you know a police officer, corrections officer, or someone working within our corrections system, tag them below or send them this post. I want to hear from them.
The recent state audit confirmed that Salt Lake County has made more than 100,000 inmate releases due to overcrowding since 2007.
That tells me these challenges didn’t happen overnight, and they won’t be solved overnight either.
I may not have every answer today, but I’m willing to listen to the people doing this work every single day.
I’m already meeting with city councils, asking questions, listening, and working to build a real strategy for the future of public safety in Salt Lake County.
To our officers and corrections professionals: What are you seeing? What needs to change? What could we be doing better?
Your experience matters, and I want it to be part of the conversation.
