To the women and men of SLCPD, I have one message: Never lose sight of your purpose.
SLC Police Chief Steps Down
In a letter, Salt Lake City Police Department Chief Mike Brown declared he will step down after 33 years with the force and nine years in charge. This comes as the state moves in on SLC’s public safety operations via legislative action. The department has yet to announce Chief Brown’s replacement. Tune in to the City Cast Salt Lake podcast Friday for our take. [SLC Police Department]

Real-Time Lake Levels
New billboards across Salt Lake County show real-time water levels of the Great Salt Lake. Launched by nonprofit Grow the Flow, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the lake’s critical condition, despite recent efforts. [FOX 13]
