Leadership among top officials with the Salt Lake City Police Department with 6 officers under investigation.
After reviewing the body camera video, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill declined to file charges.
"We are going to be scrutinized, and rightfully so," Gill said."I think we have an obligation to explain, be truthful, be open about the decisions that we make... Being proactive, open, and transparent is something that we do as public servants regardless of what our job description is." “Our department did not release nor confirm the identities of our employees,” Chief Brown wrote. “I am very disappointed this information was released and used.”He is one of several officers who stated he believes the letter is an example of Chief Brown shifting the blame to the media instead of taking accountability for his own decision to place the officers on administrative leave.
"They call the 'Handwringer' for a reason," Evans said."He always just worries and doesn't like to make decisions... This just shows that time and time again, he tries to make someone else the scapegoat. He’s never consistent."Officers say Chief Brown has lost the trust of his own department. In 2020, the union representing SLCPD officers took a “vote of no confidence” in the chief.
