I am incredibly grateful for the Salt Lake City Police Department. They have been there for me to help when I needed them there quickly and promptly. I have been only treated with the utmost respect by the officers here. Thanks for keeping our city safe and for all of your hard work.

I had a terrifying experience this last week, and officers quickly came and dealt with the situation and they were absolutely incredible. I wish I knew the name of the main officer who helped, because he was amazing. He was astute and discerning and extremely effective in dealing with the out of control person. I don t know what could ve happened without them responding or what I would ve done! I am so grateful to know they are there to protect us and I have a whole new level of appreciation and gratitude for every police officer. Thank you for responding & serving! Thank you for your willingness and ability to handle crazy situations to keep us safe. Thank you!!

My car was broken into and they didn t send an officer. Told my to file a report online. My wedding ring was stolen out of my car and I have no idea how to utilize a detective to search the systems pawn shops are supposed to report to. Made a traumatic experience even more traumatizing by receiving zero support.

Lt. James Tracy and Jeff Payne, are not worthy of wearing a law enforcement uniform. These individuals do not have any consideration for the law, and their illegal activities are to be brought to the forefront. Let. James Tracy and Jeff Payne should be made examples of, and should be terminated for violating citizens rights. Lt. James Tracy and Jeff Payne are rogue officials that should be dealt with the strictest word of the law, and at the highest court. Lt. James Tracy and Jeff Payne have broken State and Federal laws, and should be penalized for their actions being law enforcement officials. Termination, all benefits withdrawn without merit. Lt. James Tracy and Officer Jeff Payne are officials that work under their own fictionalized laws, violating citizens' rights, and arresting innocent citizens. TERMINATION & DISSOLUTION OF ALL BENEFITS would be the best outcome for Lt. James Tracy and Officer Jeff Payne.

Thanks to the officers who responded to noise complaint call of under age drinkers up in rental house by the U. They quieted the party down without drama and handled it all professionally, quickly and with wisdom. Thanks!

Quality control, well trained officers. Despite suspicions on multiple occasions, the officer's (remember they are in possession of the title such as Sheriff and Lieutenant, Deputy and the Captain). The Salt Lake City Police Department are just doing their jobs. Underpaid, dangerous, undeterred in keeping the peace. Show some respectful wishes please instead of breeding hate towards Law Enforcement.

Whomever the officer establishing the barricade on Bonneville Blvd and 11th Ave this morning was a real jerk. They put the barricade so far down the road with no signage to let people know not to turn off 11th. I politely brought this up to the officer as he sat in his vehicle, trying to bring to his attention the logistical issue as I saw it. It's just wasting people's time to put barriers so far down the road they have to make a U-turn, instead of just avoiding the road. Simple solution to wasting everyone's time. He looked at me as if I were less than human and addressed me as such, saying "so what".

If I communicated with my patients like that, I'd be relieved of my position. As an RN, given the history SLCPD has even with other public service workers, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

What a disgrace to the uniform and all those that honorably serve the public. This Lt. James should be demoted and working patrol on mid-nights until he can get his head around what it is he''s really suppose to be doing.

I was pulled over today by an officer Bishop (*) for the sole purpose that he noticed I had a flat tire and proceeded to change it for me. I ve never experienced an officer perform an act of kindness the way he did today. Completely made my day and restored a great deal of respect for officers and this one especially. Thank you!

Completely disgusted with the way I was treated by the officers from this department. I have filed a formal complaint with IA but I wouldn't be surprised if I have some sort of retaliation for sharing this post. Badge happy officers that try to bully the public around. Unfortunate for sure, I have so much respect for law enforcement as I have several close friends that work for different departments, they would have never treated civilians so poorly. So sad really! I had been side swiped by another vehicle and apparently me being upset by the situation makes me a bad guy and watch out. I was told not to call dispatch because they have better things to do even though the officer wouldnt give me a case number or anything to prove he was actually filing the complaint at my request. Notice the extremely poor public reviews that this department has.. interesting isnt it? Clearly the city has a problem, I'm curious if anyone will actually do something about this. I would like to see the body cam footage of the situation. These officers involved should not be in a public servant job role, they act as though the public should serve them. This is why the public is becoming less and less supportive of police officers, all because of a few bad apples giving the rest a bad rap.

Completely incompetent and behond disrespectful. I called to report a crime and the so called detective not only accused me of lying...she did absolutely nothing..gave zero concern about the nature of my call..insulted me... then hung up. Obviously the extensive problems and illegal activity that take place in liberty wells is due to the incompetence of those being paid by our tax dollars to find the problem...then take the necessary steps to fix it. I was told to find the problem myself...fix it...then call them like I'm on their payroll...complete disservice. Then in the same breath...they throw your assistance in jail for doing the job they are paid to do. No wonder this country hates cops and the system. It's a complete injustice and a waiste of everything..

I did a ride a long years ago with the SLC police and even though they don't do rides anymore, find out if your local police do. It was very educational as to how and what these incredible men and women do every time they put on their uniforms. They never know what they are going to encounter. It's pretty scary stuff they do. They are always there for the public when you need them. I appreciate everything they do to keep us safe and keep the bad guys off the street. With all the cop shootings this year, they still put on their uniforms and serve and protect. If you get a chance, take your communities "Citizen Police Academy" and see and do what they do in detail. You will find a lot of respect for these guys. I support and appreciate the men and women of Law Enforcement. Happy Holidays!

They dont care about the public unless it directly benefits them. Some are pretty shady (not all). Seems like they all need to go to driving school. All in all they're the worst police department I've ever seen.

We have a really bad homeless and drug problem in downtown. With that being said, when you guys are sitting by Southern X-Posure Downtown by the off exit running a speed trap with 4 of you in cars??? Because speeding is really SLC problem? Seems like taxes are the problem here.

When the officer came to my car he asked for my license. Nothing else... not registration, not insurance, nothing... he told me I was going 48 in a 40. I told him I didn t come this way often and only used it because traffic was bad on the interstate. After I explained he quickly (literally almost ran) to his car. I thought I was going to get a warning because I have never had a ticket and didn t know the area. He comes right back with a nice little ticket and then acted like he was giving me a break because could have cited me for 8 over but only did 5 over . Wow cool thanks...I don t blame the officers I blame the people at the top that don t care about anything but the bottom line numbers. I m not complaining about getting ticketed for speeding. I m complaining that you put more effort into speed traps then you do actual crime. Enjoy my money for your vacation.... lmfao what a joke.

I understand that being a police officer is a dangerous and underappreciated career and I'm grateful that there are individuals who wish to Serve and Protect. I just wish they could be more effective in solving real crime that affects law abiding citizens.

I own a property in Salt Lake that has been broken into five separate times in less than a 12 month period. Each time the Salt Lake Police Department is contacted they come out and do a report but do not offer any practical help or seem very interested in catching the criminals.

During one if these incidents, the next door neighbor called the police while the criminal was in the backyard taking items from inside the garage. But by the time the police showed up the thief was long gone. I feel powerless. Thieves can break into properties, take what they want, and little can be done about it.

Perhaps Officers should take better care of themselves as in what they eat, what they drink and what they think. Perhaps the Police should consider daily yoga, meditation practices and reiki in a tranquil environment vs karma catching up. If karma catching up, A time to stop. A time to heal and a time to hear, cost effective vs bad publicity, bad reviews and bad news .

Officers Tracy and Payne. Thank god body cams witness the imoral and unlawful acts of the officers.
Nurse Wubbels an angel like my wife who is a nurse doing what is moral and right. Thanks nurse Wubbels for protecting others and not submitting to the corrupted officers actions. Salt lake Police you need to fire those officers. No other right thing to do. If I did something imoral i would get the same a dismal from work.

They have told me that they are in place to stand in the way of religious freedom, and that because of their policy to force the prostitution religion or forced slavery on the population for them to have power over non prostitutes that every major religion on the planet is now not allowed in their jurisdiction.

Sergeant Wind is the goat informative and hilarious. Reminded me a ton of Sergeant Terry Jeffords of Brooklynn Nine-Nine. He deserves a pay raise for keeping the bad guys off the streets and being a beast.

VERY corrupt. Warrantless searches, verbally abusive, tries to enforce private company rules as law on Trax property to harass smokers, unlawfully detains citizens and won't let them leave then threatens to charge them with trespassing for not leaving, arrests you for reporting police abuse, breaks into your home and puts guns to your head for exposing police abuse cover-ups, the FBI won't investigate and won't even watch video of abuses walked into them before denying anything happened, the governor does nothing about it and illegally blocks you on social media if you report on his police abuse cover-ups, they will lie to your family and claim you're an amphetamine addict to attempt to discredit you, they will lie on police reports and claim you've committed domestic violence if you report them, they will deny you access to a lawyer, deny you the ability to speak on your own behalf if unrepresented, they will handcuff you in your home they broke into under pretense of making sure you live there and even if you have multiple forms of identification proving your address they will keep you handcuffed for half an hour as they desperately call around to different jails trying to see if anyone is willing to resurrect old paid traffic tickets to justify an arrest, they will break into your home after your child just died of a disease if you don't let them in, they will attack and kidnap nurses that won't break the law for them, they will steal your house keys and take them to a different police station than you're taken to, they will hold you in jail for many hours after you are supposed to be released, they will starve you of vegetarian food in jail in violation of freedom of beliefs, they will cover up police abuse even when facing international scandal over it and still them refuse to do anything about it, they even give unlawful commands without valid authority such as not to use public transportation if they get upset you question their abuses. Police state. I left the country.

Simply horrible! I only hear negative things about the police force here and finally experienced it myself.

I was driving down 600 south and was pulled over right before 500 east. He told me i was driving 42 and i asked why that was an issue. I thought the speed limit was 40. He explained to me that the speed limit was 30 and how it's tricky on this block because it goes from 40 mph to 30 mph just a block before he pulled me over. I apologized and told him that i wasn't aware and that i do not typically take this route to work.

He did not ask me for insurance and registration, quickly grabbing my license and scurrying back to his motorcycle. I was certain that i was just going to be issued a warning but Instead of utilizing his power of discretion, he cited me and gave me a ticket. He then made it seem like he was "Doing me a favor" by only citing me for going 5 over the speed limit.

It is very upsetting to know that he was clearly sitting there, knowing how the speed limit change is a tricky spot so he can up his quota. That is not what a police officer's job and focus should be! my uncle was the sheriff of Philadelphia, i could've easily used my FOP, but i didn't thinking it was not an issue and shouldn't have to do that in order to get out of a unnecessary situation like that. I even went to college for criminal justice and wanted to be a police officer! Officers like him are the reason why i decided not to.

I hear situations like this all the time from friends and have lived in many states. I make it a point to ask my friends if they have ever been issued a warning and not one person can say that they have! Such a shame to have an unethical police force here

I called to ask a simple question and was told to look on face book or in the news I think that it was one of the worst interactions with police I have ever had good job guy. the public relations is bad unless you speak to a supervisor. the supervisor is amazing.

I would give zero stars if possible. My car was broken into and they wouldn't even send an officer. There is zero effort on their part what so ever. Why do we even pay taxes for them to "protect and serve" when they won't even come to a crime. I will never make a purchase in salt lake again and I will move out of the city. What a great example of "public service".
