Salt Lake City police's communications director returned to work Tuesday, about a month after he allegedly responded to a homicide scene with alcohol in his system and was subsequently disciplined, officials said.
Communications director Brent Weisberg was placed on four weeks of paid leave after he responded to work with alcohol in his system, police said in a statement.
Weisberg’s position as the Police Department’s communications director involves disseminating critical safety information to the public. He has been employed with the department since summer 2021, according to previous communications from Weisberg. Weisberg was placed on four weeks of paid administrative leave during the internal investigation and “subsequent discipline,” according to the release. Officials did not specify what subsequent discipline Weisberg received.
