Thank you can't even being to put into words the gratitude we have for all our first responders. Their tireless dedicated service on behalf of our country, the state of Utah, and more directly to us at VIPS, our county and cities! The Men and Women of the Utah County Sheriff's VIPS team stand ready to assist these amazing teams in serving our communities. Thank you all for your service and for the sacrifices on our behalf

On October 28th of 2017, Congress designated today as National First Responders Day. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who rush to the scene when the call for help goes out.

Our Team of outstanding Deputies have answered the call for help here in Utah County, and assisted other Law Enforcement both here in Utah County, and across our State.

Our Wildland Firefighter have gone all Utah and Western States helping to fight various wildfires. They have also assisted here in Utah County with various calls for service and training.

Again to all those Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, Dispatch, and volunteers that rush to the call for help-THANK YOU.

Had an amazing day up at Soldier Summit with our awesome team! We hit the trails on ATVs, took in the stunning fall colors 🍁🍂, enjoyed every second of the fresh mountain air🗻, laughs and great company. This wasn't just about the ride- it was about building connections, delicious food🌯🌮🍪, grilled Twinkies (no seriously though, they're delicious) and having fun!

Huge thanks to everyone who made this day possible. Thank you to the support of the Utah County Sheriffs Office and Deputies that attended as well as the U.S Forest Service Law Enforcement These kinds of activities remind us why we serve and support our communities together.

Already looking forward to the next one!

One year ago, we lost Sgt. Bill Dean Hooser. That loss tested the Utah County community, but we emerged stronger—supporting each other and focusing on serving others.

Bill Hooser exemplified what it meant to be a police officer, but more than that, Bill was an amazing friend and mentor to those around him. Bill you were taken too early from us and we strive everyday to be the example that you set for us!”

"Our loved ones are never truly gone—only when we stop sharing their stories, living their values, and carrying their light forward does their legacy begin to fade."

Let’s honor his legacy through service.
