SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office swore in 83 deputies Monday, reestablishing its Law Enforcement Bureau after a split with the Unified Police Department became official.
When Unified Police was established in 2010. the sheriff’s office lost its patrol, with the state legislature voting to separate the two agencies last year. One of the biggest changes following the split is that the sheriff’s office will no longer share its building on 3300 South, which means UPD no longer has a headquarters.
The sheriff’s office will now provide Metro Gang Unit, Search and Rescue and canyon patrol services, but Race said the cities will still have access to the same services.
