Episode Description

This evening, the names of two fallen police officers from Utah will be added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. Tremonton-Garland Police Officer Eric Estrada and Sergeant Lee Sorensen both died in the line of duty last summer. Today, they'll join other officers from around the country who died in the last year, all while protecting their communities. Ahead of a major vigil tonight in our nation's capital, we're taking a closer look at policing in the state.

For some perspective on the state of policing, we're joined by recently retired Chief of Police in West Jordan, Ken Wallentine. Greg provides perspective on the legal challenges facing law enforcement officers. We then shift to a discussion on support for officers and their families; Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason and Pat Evans, a member of the Utah Chapter of COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors) also join the conversation.
