Folks,
I attended UPD Board meeting today/Thursday May 16th. I was on the agenda to address the following:

Congress urged to adequately fund grant programs
critical to law enforcement.
It’s National Police Week -- a time to celebrate the law enforcement officers who put themselves in danger when duty calls, to protect our streets.
There has been some questions about being able to retire and double dip among members lately. This is the Post Retirement Brochure from URS.
This confirms that one may retire, wait one year and come back to any URS agency, and still recieve thier pension payments and their salary, but will not recieve any future retirement contributions during that second career.

Regarding early rumors about "done deal" with Taylorsville joining fully with UPD ~ promotion lists at UPD set back... We have it on good authority that ~ it is no sure thing with Taylorsville City Council.
If you are a Taylorsville resident, please contact your City Council member with your view on this matter.
