Last Saturday, our community experienced an unfortunate domestic violence incident which took three people’s lives. A father, aunt and 30 year-old son and nephew (the latter the shooter, who eventually took his own life) perished in gunfire. As with many such incidents, this appears to have been an intersection of poor mental health, drug abuse and firearms, resulting in yet another tragedy. ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda below Join virtually HERE Planning Commission Wed., 9/15/21 Regular Meeting 5 pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Agenda below Join virtually HERE The incident began when a bloodied man appeared at the Precinct to report that a shooter was active immediately next door and that there was at least one hostage alive in the building. Patrol officers from our Millcreek UPD Precinct as well as the Holladay Precinct were summoned and made entry into the building, under fire. They were able to extract an elderly woman safely before our SWAT team could assemble. These officers are true heroes, risking their own safety to protect an innocent from this horror. There is no way to adequately thank them for this act of heroism. To many Millcreek residents, this event created inconvenience due to multiple road closures necessary to protect the surrounding neighborhood and permit our police officers room to maneuver as they addressed what quickly became an armed standoff. Other residents living in the vicinity spent the night terrified, sheltering in place, listening to gunfire from the shooter directed at officers outside and flash bangs and explosive charges used by our police. These were used to distract the shooter, and to penetrate the building in order to gain entry for robots, which were employed to gain an understanding of the situation inside and to communicate with the shooter so that UPD’s mental health unit and hostage negotiators could attempt to diffuse the situation and convince him to surrender. This standoff lasted nearly 24 hours, until our UPD SWAT team was able to confirm, by flying a drone into the basement of the dwelling, that the shooter had apparently taken his own life. As unfortunate as this all was, I am proud of our UPD officers and the work that they did here, all with patience, professionalism and without firing a shot. The resources employed were impressive, and necessary to fully protect our community while trying to diffuse this situation. I also appreciate the mutual aid our officers received, particularly from SWAT, which relieved our UPD SWAT officers during the night so that they could get some rest in the early morning hours on Saturday. However, due to the capability and size of the Unified Police Department, our people were able to marshal 70 officers at the scene in addition to two robots, several drones and the armored police vehicles required to protect officers and the public in this dynamic situation. So many officers were required in order to perform traffic control and block streets to ---PAGE BREAK--- keep passersby safe and to secure the area; to go door-to-door to alert residents of the need to shelter in place; to establish containment so that the shooter could not escape, and to try to secure the surrender or otherwise address a heavily armed individual firing from inside the building. A stand-alone Millcreek police department would never be able to bring such breadth and depth of resources to protect our community in this fashion. It is unusual that mutual aid would remain for an entire shift, as happened here. I know that was willing to help in this extended way because our Millcreek and other UPD officers paid it forward. For example, during the civil unrest of 2020, they gave SLC’s officers similar assistance so they could get some rest. This type of event is a prime example of why I believe Millcreek receives good value from its UPD membership. Communities make choices about the level of policing service for which they are willing to pay. Our UPD contract constitutes a significant expense to Millcreek taxpayers, but policing is perhaps the most critical service our city provides. To date, UPD has been paid for exclusively with the property tax dollars collected by the city. While we had no need for a tax increase to fund our police contract in 2021, the salary wars between police agencies this year have once again put UPD officer and sergeant pay at the very bottom compared to other police agencies in the Salt Lake Valley. This is not a tenable position if we want to be able to recruit and retain the caliber of officers we saw demonstrated last Saturday. The City Council will have to consider how to meet the demand of UPD staying competitive or suffer the consequences of having the worst paid police force in Salt Lake County. Given what these men and women do for us, that is simply unacceptable to me. We get what we pay for in police service and I believe Millcreek residents will agree that we simply cannot be last in how we compensate our police officers. Again, I cannot adequately express the thanks deserved for the bravery of our UPD officers and their skilled protection of our Millcreek community. - Mayor Jeff Silvestrini ---PAGE BREAK--- Calling All Photographers!
