Each year, the Salt Lake County Sheriff and the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake host an Awards Ceremony, co- sponsored by the Salt Lake Honorary Colonels. This year the Awards Ceremony took place on June 21st and the Millcreek Precinct took center stage, with Millcreek officers being given awards again and again throughout the ceremony. ---PAGE BREAK--- Officer Scott Green received the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award. Officer Green worked to follow up on thirteen DUI cases that were waiting to be screened, some cases involving serious bodily injury. His expertise in handling DUI cases led to information on six of these cases being forwarded to the DA’s office for appropriate prosecution. Officer Green works with fellow officers to train them on what is needed for a thorough DUI investigation. Additionally, Officer Green has put together a training document with a step-by- step guide on how to conduct a proper DUI investigation. The guide explains the steps from conducting a field sobriety test through the booking process. As a Motor Officer, Officer Green consistently handled more traffic accidents, more hit and run investigations, conducted more DUI investigations, and issued more traffic citations than any other motor officer in UPD. We are glad to have him bring his skills to the Millcreek Precinct. Sergeant Mike Mayes received a Chief’s Award for his work as supervisor of the Millcreek Street Crimes Unit as well as a secondary position as the Domestic Violence Coordinator for the entire Unified Police Department. Sergeant Mayes dedicates himself to his job, sharing his knowledge and mentoring the officers in his unit as well as working to develop a policy that has made vital changes to the department’s response to domestic violence cases. He has testified in front of the State Legislature and offered his opinion in meetings with high level government officials concerning domestic violence issues. Sergeant Herbert Allen, Detectives Jared Nichols, Christian Thompson, Garrett Cottle, and Cameron Plouzek were recognized with a Chief’s Award for their work at the Millcreek temporary overflow homeless shelter. These officers worked closely with the city and the operators of the shelter, showing compassion and professionalism while dealing with those experiencing homelessness. Their hard work not only helped with incidents inside the shelter but also made sure that there was minimal impact to the neighboring residents and businesses, ---PAGE BREAK--- Officer Danny Diehl received an award for his successful investigation of a burglary at Hyland Cyclery where eight valuable mountain bikes valued at $43,000 were stolen. Officer Diehl located the abandoned, stolen U-Haul trailer that had been used in the burglary and using available video evidence and his keen observational skill, located a suspec. After questioning her, he was able to locate the additional suspects involved. The investigation led to recovery of all of the mountain bikes from two encampments in Fairmont Park. Four suspects were apprehended, charged with numerous felonies, and booked into jail. The city is very grateful to Officer Diehl for resolving what could have been a devastating loss to a Millcreek business and bringing those responsible to justice. Sergeant Makaloni Prescott, Detectives Adam Page, Cody Hampton, Steven Ivan, and Jacob Werner compromise the Millcreek Precinct Community Crime Suppression Unit The CCSU utilizes marked patrol cars to be highly visible in our city as a deterrent to crime and investigates issues related to narcotics, nuisance homes, traffic issues and other crimes. These officers were recognized with an award for their efforts in identifying and resolving community issues in coordination with federal and local agencies. The CCSU 2022 statistics are remarkable: 190 felony arrests, 49 recovered stolen vehicles, 99 drug investigations, 29 nuisance home complaints, 890 traffic stops, and 36 search warrants. We thank all of our Millcreek Precinct officers and staff and appreciate the work they do to keep our city safe! Congratulations and thanks to all!!

MONDAY Millcreek Arts Council July 14th Summer Jam Concert Features UberGruv Join the Millcreek Arts Council every Monday at 7pm at Canyon Rim Park for a free Summer Jam Concert Series. This week featuring UberGruv. The band Ubergruv is exactly what the name implies - Uber (greatest, highest, most extreme) and Gruv (groovy music that causes spontaneous bodily actions like fingers snappin', toes tappin', hands clappin', and heads bobbin'). They do this by serving up a platter of meaty jazz over bones of rock, drenched with funk sauce, and seasoned at times with Latin spice. Drummer Tom "Boom Boom" Scharlow leads the band, with Jeff "the Ticket" Pickett on keys, Troy "Mr. Funky Nuts" Horton on guitar, Dean "Groove Machine" Athens on bass, and Kevin "Sugar Lips" on sax and flute. As explains, "We like to play tunes with a strong melody and add our own improvisations, which are ---PAGE BREAK--- essentially spontaneous compositions, on the fly. Each soloist tells a story by doing this, which can sometimes lead to surprising emotional peaks and exUBERance!"
