Last week during National Police Week, we were reminded once again how incredible this community truly is.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to bring sweets, meals, treats, and kind messages to our department, and to those who volunteered their services in support of our officers and staff. Your generosity and encouragement mean more than words can express.

We also want to recognize our Peer Support Group for organizing the week and helping make it so meaningful for everyone involved. Their hard work and dedication are truly appreciated.

We would also like to acknowledge that there were many others not pictured who helped, donated, volunteered, and supported us throughout the week. Your kindness did not go unnoticed, and we are sincerely grateful for each and every one of you.

We are grateful to serve such a caring and supportive community. Thank you for standing behind us and helping make National Police Week so special.

Honoring Law Enforcement During National Police Week

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy established May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which it falls as National Police Week. This observance, created by a joint resolution of Congress, serves to honor the law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.

Each year, during National Police Week, communities across the United States pause to remember these fallen heroes and to acknowledge the profound loss experienced by their families, friends, and fellow officers.

Every law enforcement officer understands the risks inherent in their profession. Yet, they put on their uniforms, fasten their duty belts, and head out on patrol, ready to face whatever challenges may arise. This courage and dedication are a vital investment in the safety and well-being of our communities, and it is this commitment that National Police Week was established to recognize.

We encourage the residents of Spanish Fork to take this opportunity to express their gratitude to the law enforcement officers who serve our city. By engaging in conversation with them, we can show our appreciation for their service and honor the sacrifices they make.

To all who wear the badge, this week is dedicated to you. We recognize the bravery you demonstrate every day as you patrol our streets, safeguard our neighborhoods, and respond to calls for service, driven by your unwavering commitment to keeping us safe. We deeply appreciate your sacrifices, and we will never forget those who have died in the line of duty.

May you all be kept safe.

🚲 New Utah E-Bike Law (Starts May 6, 2026)

Utah just rolled out some new rules for e-bikes and e-scooters. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to know:

🪖 Helmets (Under 21)
If you’re under 21, you’ll need to wear a helmet while riding. Make sure it meets safety standards.

⚡ Bike Types Matter

Regular e-bikes = treated like normal bicycles
Higher-powered bikes = may be considered motorcycles

📄 Licensing (for high-powered bikes)
If your ride falls into the “motorcycle” category, you might need:

A driver’s license
Motorcycle endorsement
Insurance

👶 Age Rules

Kids under 8 can’t ride e-bikes on public roads
Riders under 16 can’t use higher-powered e-bikes

🚫 Don’t Ride Impaired
Yes, you can get a DUI on an e-bike—don’t risk it.

⏭️ Coming in 2027
Riders ages 8–15 will need to either:

Be with an adult, or
Pass a safety course

👍 Why the change?
It’s all about keeping riders (especially kids) safer.
