Yesterday, we stood together with our colleagues to honor the life of State Patrol Lieutenant Tyler Uthe, the beloved husband of Savage Police Sgt. Ashley Uthe.

Lt. Uthe lived a life defined by courage, compassion, and unwavering service, and his absence is felt deeply by his family, friends, and the entire law enforcement community.

On behalf of our department, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for every gesture – big or small – that this community has offered to support the Uthe family and our officers. Your kindness has mattered more than words can say.

Sincerely,
Chief Brady Juell

On behalf of the Savage Police Department, I want to express our profound sorrow following the tragic loss of Minnesota State Patrol Lt. Tyler Uthe.

This loss is deeply personal to our department. Lt. Uthe was the husband of Savage Police Sergeant Ashley Uthe and the father of their two young children. Ashley’s twin sister, Officer Alex Vogel, also serves with our department. Today, our police family grieves alongside the Uthe and Vogel families, as well as our colleagues at the Minnesota State Patrol.

We ask our community to keep the Uthe and Vogel families in your thoughts during the difficult days ahead and to honor their request for privacy as they grieve.

The support and kindness of this community mean more than words can express. Thank you for standing with our officers and their families during this heartbreaking time.

Sincerely,
Chief Brady Juell

We're excited to share Sergeant Dallas Stadick is participating in the 2026 Special Olympics Minnesota Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg! He was selected to represent not just the Savage Police Department, but all of Minnesota law enforcement. 👏🔥

Here's the first report from Sgt. Stadick: "Today is the official start of the 2026 USA Games Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg. The Flame of Hope will be lit at the Eternal Flame in Chicago and then embark on what will be a 10,000-mile journey around the United States, finishing in Minnesota. Our first torch run today will be a little more than two miles along Lake Michigan, finishing inside Soldier Field where a reception will be hosted by our friends at Special Olympics Illinois."

We’ll be cheering him on and sharing fun updates of his journey across the West Coast with other law enforcement professionals and Special Olympics athletes, all leading up to Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics USA Games in Minneapolis. 🏃‍♂️
