2019 Message from the Chief As we finish another decade, I have reflected on my career which started in the early eighties and thought about the advancements in policing as well as some of the new challenges we face. I am proud to be associated with the men and women of this profession and especially proud of the officers and civilians that serve South Jordan City. Officers working in South Jordan today face different challenges such as being asked to deal with a spiraling drug problem and mental health issues. Our hope is that they are better equipped and trained than those of us that policed in a different time. Our residents can be assured that we make every effort to provide the latest in equipment to help keep our residents and officers safe while doing so in a fiscally responsible way. Our mission includes involving the community in a meaningful partnership. We do that in various ways but I would like to highlight the police department’s Community Advisory Board. This board is made of dedicated residents as well as a representative from the Jeff Carr Chief of Police business community and the school district. The board allows the police department to engage various stakeholders in our mission. Meeting with residents and representatives from the business community and schools help us better understand what is important to South Jordan and what expectations the community has for critical services provided by the police department. The values of our Police Department and South Jordan City are guardrails that help ensure appropriate service to our residents. Our city has always had a strong sense of community, while placing a high value on families. We ask our officers to adhere to those common values as they interact with the community. However, at times, the work they do can be dangerous as they act to protect the community. Officers are asked daily to control difficult situations and sometimes that requires direct talk and actions. We hope our residents will understand and support their important work. In our city, I believe the vast majority of our residents respect and appreciate our police officers. I see evidence of that every day. Sir Robert Peel, the father of modern policing, said in 1829 “The police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police.� It is our hope that the police department reflects this statement that I believe is just as relevant today as it was nearly two centuries ago. Success in crime prevention and reduction efforts will always be a partnership with the community. In any partnership, both partners have to be committed and willing to work for it to be a success. The police department has felt that commitment from the community and we pledge ourselves towards that goal. It is an honor to serve you and I hope that you enjoy the 2019 annual report. Jeff Carr Police Chief


South Jordan City South Jordan was primarily a rural farming community when it became incorporated as a town in 1935. In 1960 the population was 1,354 and by 1970 the population had more than doubled to 2,942. Housing gradually started to replace farmland as the population once again more than doubled by 1980 to 7,492. Then in 1990 it nearly doubled again to 13,106. The 2017 population was 72,602. This type of growth brings many kinds of challenges and opportunities. South Jordan is committed to preserving the natural beauty of this area.

South Jordan City Police Department

2019 Annual Report

Administrative Services Division

The South Jordan Police Department made a substantial organizational change in 2019 resulting in the promotion of a third Lieutenant to act as a Division Commander and a reorganization of the existing police department structure. This was an important step to accommodate the challenges of a growing community, while maintaining the span of control necessary to remain effective and efficient. The new structure includes the following: The Office of the Chief

This includes the Police Chief, Deputy Police Chief, an Executive Officer and an Executive Assistant. The Office of the Chief drives the Mission, Vision, and Values of the organization and maintains responsibility for all financial management, policy management, legislative liaison, technology maintenance, internal affairs, human resources, and employee health and wellness. Patrol Division The Patrol Division is the largest division of the police department and is responsible for the majority of public contact. The Patrol Division includes all uniformed patrol services, the Tactical Unit, and the K-9 Unit. Investigations Division The Investigations Division is responsible for all major follow-up criminal investigations, property and crime scene. Special Services Division The Special Services Division has a wide ranging area of responsibility as they touch all of the other areas of the police department. The responsibilities include units such as Animal Control, School Resources, Traffic, Training, Peer Support, Special Events, and coordination of all extra duty assignments. In 2019, we saw our final year of accreditation with the Utah Chiefs of Police Association and will be seeking to renew our accreditation with the Utah Chiefs in early 2020. We also saw a three year trend emerge in the reduction of our instances of Use of Force. In 2017 there was 136 instances where officers were required to use force, and in 2018 this number dropped to 116 instances. We are proud to say in 2019 this figure dropped again to 104 instances. In each of those years, less than 10% of those cases resulted in injury to the subject and officer involved.

Jason Knight Deputy Chief of Police

As we look ahead to 2020, we hope to continue to develop our police officers and supporting personnel to serve this great community and provide our citizens with the best police services in the region.


2019 Annual Report

Uniformed Services Division

The importance of a partnership between the police and the community cannot be overstated, it is through this partnership that the high quality of life and low-crime rate can be preserved for those who live and work in South Jordan. Although we know that good police work can contribute to a low crime rate, police work is only part of the equation. The public’s willingness to get involved to both prevent and respond to crime is critical to our success as a community. The South Jordan Patrol Division is committed to keeping South Jordan a safe and peaceful community. Our department members recognize and value the responsibility of serving our community in a professional manner and the importance of preserving the public trust. The Patrol Division is the largest division within our agency, encompassing many shifts, units and teams, including; patrol officers, traffic investigators, and K-9 units. Members of the division work collectively to improve the quality of life and to provide a safe environment for the residents of our community. I would like to commend the men and women of the South Jordan Police Department Patrol Division for their continued commitment to the residents we serve. Their devotion to our community is revealed in the hard work and responsible service demonstrated on a daily basis.

Investigations Unit

Investigations Division

The Investigations Unit consists of one Detective Sergeant and nine Detectives: seven tasked with general criminal investigation, one assigned to investigate local street crime activities, and one with the DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force. In addition, we have one part-time Investigations Administrative Assistant to help everything run smoothly. The Investigations Unit is responsible for conducting follow-up investigations on criminal cases reported to the department. In addition to receiving cases from uniformed patrol officers, in special circumstances investigators create additional cases resulting from direct contact with informants or complainants about criminal activity related to controlled substances, gangs, crimes against children, and any others as necessary. During 2019, the Investigations Unit reviewed and managed over 1180 cases, 642 of which were assigned to a detective for follow up. The Unit’s positive closure ratio was around 57%, which is a 17% increase from 2018.

VICTIM SERVICES Unit The Victim Services Unit consists of one full-time program coordinator, two part-time advocates, and one volunteer advocate. They are responsible for helping victims and witnesses of criminal activity related to fire, deaths, domestic violence, sexual assault, and any other crimes where the advocates feel someone may benefit from the services they can offer. Trained advocates assess the needs of victims and witnesses, and provide support and referrals to resources that help in recovery and navigation of the criminal justice system. In addition, the advocates spend countless hours in the courtroom with victims and witnesses as support and advocate for their voices to be heard. In 2019, the unit provided services to nearly 700 victims.

PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE UNIT The Property and Evidence Unit consists of one full-time Evidence Custodian, who also doubles as a Crime Scene Technician and Quarter Master coordinator, and one part-time Evidence Technician. Together they are responsible for managing all evidence items seized or held by the police department, currently maintaining nearly 29,000 physical and digital articles of evidence. Maintaining all of this is crucial to supporting criminal cases set for prosecution. In 2019, the Property and Evidence Unit processed 5,417 articles of evidence and released or destroyed 454 articles. In addition, the Prescription Drug Take Back Program, which the Property and Evidence Unit manages in collaboration with our local DEA office, was again very successful in 2019 collecting over 950 lbs. of unused prescription drugs.

On August 14, 2018, at the scene of an unknown problem where a male was found lying on the sidewalk unconscious and not breathing. Officers immediately took over CPR efforts from a citizen on scene and were able to regain a pulse. The man was transported to the hospital and ultimately survived due to your quick and decisive actions. Master Officer Prince and Master Officer Dempsey (not present).

In recognition for the actions taken on October 27, 2018, at the scene of a child who was choking. The parents and others on scene were unable to effectively help the child, but because of your quick response and decision-making ability, you successfully performed the Heimlich maneuver and saved the life of this child. Sergeant Winkler (not present).

On May 8, 2018, you responded to a report of a man making death threats at a local convenience store. You were able to locate the suspect as he was driving into oncoming traffic, endangering himself and others. As you initiated a traffic stop the suspect quickly pulled over and ducked across his seat before exiting his vehicle and advancing on you, creating a potentially life-threatening situation. Due to your quick actions you were able to keep the suspect calm until a Taser could be deployed to safely take him into custody. Your professionalism and the way you handled this dangerous situation is commendable. Sergeant Winkler (not present).

As a supervisor in our organization, you are entrusted to ensure that our officers are meeting expectations and that they adhere to our vision, mission and values. Thank you for your selfless service and daily contribution to the success of the South Jordan Police Department.

In May 2018, the department received a report of a male who kissed and fondled a juvenile female without her consent while she was on a break from school. With little information and a surveillance clip of the suspect’s vehicle, you were able to work small leads until you were able to identify a suspect. Through your hard work and determination, you were able to locate, interview, and obtain a confession from the suspect. Your work ethic and drive is commendable in helping victims who are seeking justice. Detective Dan Burke (not present).

In 2016, one of the strategic goals of the police department was to ensure that all schools in South Jordan City received active shooter training. Over the course of two years, Lieutenant Pennington spent countless hours working with school officials in developing a district-wide plan that is encapsulated by the tag line of “Avoid, Deny, Defend.” Once school officials approved the plan, a training curriculum was developed and the training was rolled out to nearly 5,000 employees.
