Salt Lake City Police Department

Can't detain anything a darker shade of white than themselves without killing them. Then there was that kidnapping y'all did. Wyd?

Watched multiple drug deals go down well they towed my truck for no reason on a bogus traffic stop and made my pregnant wife and 4 year old stand in the rain well they harassed us and made fun of us laughing at us when they towed our truck there saying hope ur night gets better as me and my little family watch our only vehicle get towed and we got left in the rain! I see why the lds church is preaching not to talk to the cops anymore they flat out can be trusted and it takes some big men to bully a little family with guns and 6 officer's well drug dealers continue selling drugs on the corners what a sad department bunch of guy's that got picked on during school banded together to bully the people that pay there salaries what a bunch of zero's!! If I could give zero stars I would screw u guys

My home security alarm went off and my husband received a phone call saying the front door was opened which was locked when I left the house , we were notified that the alarm company was having the cops sent to our house so I hurried home to meet the cops and when I arrived no one was there so I waited for ten minutes before calling 911, the operator informened me no one was on the way because the cops weren't called so I had the cops come and I was informed to wait in my car with the doors lock and wait for the police to arrive , I waited 30 dam minutes and still NO ONE ARRIVED! So I called the salt lake city police dept to ask if anyone was on there way or if I should just go check out the house myself and he stated the cops were on the way ,it took another 20 minutes before the cops arrived , when the cops were looking through my house to make sure it was safe they were talking about other cases and joking and laughing which upset me because here I am having such a horrible experience and they are joking around , this unit definitely needs some professionalism and need to show up immediately in emergencies It shouldn't have taken 50 minutes!! My dog could have been killed if there was someone was actually inside of my house. How are we supposed to feel safe if the police aren't taking their jobs seriously .

I've had two encounters in the last couple of months that needed police attention, and I found both interactions to be unhelpful. The officers I worked with were friendly, but they did not seem wholly competent or motivated to help. One case was an incident of theft that we captured on video. I imagined that they'd tell me any information -what we could do and couldn't do or the odds of finding the guy, etc. But they didn't really take control or give me any feedback, steps, or information. Just gave me a case number and left me wondering what was happening. The second interaction was a recent case where two of my employees were physically and verbally harassed at an event. I first called a deputy in American Fork that I know who is very competent to help guide me when I spoke with the officers up here. I was prepared with basic info this time! The officer I spoke with was trying to be friendly (I think), but he talked down to me, gave me one option, and basically made it sound like I was not going to get any help on it. I was trying to get advice on what avenue to pursue and then pursue something....nope. Wasn't able to get anywhere. Again left me saying, "uh....aren't you supposed to be an authority on helping me understand how to navigate this?" If they can't give me help and information on these matters, who can? This department seems to need more education and training.
