People were making comments in line with my thoughts, and I decided to call and ask if they could do a wellness check. I explained everything, and the dispatcher was extremely nice to me. (Not something I'm used to here locally, sadly). I left my name and number but asked to remain anonymous should the person they are checking on asked. I spent probably a good 5 or so minutes on the phone with dispatch. A bit later my phone rang, with an unknown number. I had a feeling it was related to this, so I answered. It was the officer calling me back to give me an update. Also something I am not used to here, locally. I am so appreciative for everything related to this. From the second I called to the time I hung up with the officer. Everything was ok - but had I ignored my feeling and something happened with my friend, I never would have forgiven myself for ignoring my gut feeling. Thank you to the dispatcher, and officer for everything. You are amazing. And thank you for everything you do, every day. You are all true heroes.

First to Review! In…read moreall seriousness, I have to thank the Layton City Police Department. My job as an investigator in the private sector means that sometimes I have to send the bad guy or girl to jail. People steal and if they didn't, I would probably be doing something else for a living. As a professional interrogator, I have learned that people steal out of need, greed, and opportunity. I get the "need" and even "opportunity" reasons. But when a suspect takes advantage and gets greedy, then I have no choice to get the local PD involved. My company has a good history with the Layton City Police Department. Anytime we have an issue and their assistance is needed, they're always quick to respond. Keep in mind, I work in Vegas too and sometimes PD response is over an hour. Layton is quick. I was recently at the Layton City Police Department to file charges against a couple of thieves. I came prepared with their confession statements, video evidence, and paper trail. The process is simple here. There's a phone at the station that I had to pick up and talk to dispatch. Dispatch took my info and sent an officer to meet me. I met with the officer and we discussed my case in the interview room. I could tell that the officer was very interested in my case. He took my evidence, wrote his statement, and gave me the case numbers. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. It's a breath of fresh air when I deal with PD that's willing to take one of my cases. In SoCal or Las Vegas, a lot of cases get dropped because PD either takes too long to respond or have bigger fish to fry. I like the fact that Layton is a smaller city. For the Layton City PD, nothing seems too small or too big for them to handle. 2017 Yelp Review #107

Dogs are up here every day of a week unleashed and I've probably seen a police officer up here twice. There are a few officers on the force that are not honest. I have a girlfriend who drinks and drives quite often and the Ogden Police Dept covers up for her because her husband was a police officer. Just like most Ogden Police Dept has some bad seeds.

This experience was a time where I truly felt alive and almost dead at the same time! I mean how else can you feel like that? You may also be wondering why this is a review for the local police department? Well the first responders did an amazing job assisting me, the police officer even carried me home in his strong little arms afterwards too!

Unreal. ______________________________________________________________ I had a very disappointing experiences with the Salt Lake City Police Department's non-emergency dispatch while attempting to file a police report. During my first call, the dispatcher who answered was extremely rude. I asked to speak with someone else as she was obviously having a bad day, she said no one else was available. The next mornining, after completing the report by phone, I received an email stating that I also needed to submit an online report. I followed the instructions and completed the online form. However, after submitting it, the confirmation page instructed me to call the non-emergency number again. When I called a second time, a different dispatcher answered, and unfortunately, she was just as rude and dismissive as the first person. I explained that I was following the instructions of the confirmation page. Dispatcher: But, why are you calling?!? I know the site told you to call you [yes, she really said that] But WHY are you calling?!? I'm confused. - Sounding bothered as well from the moment she picked up the call. I was simply trying to follow the department's instructions and properly report a theft, yet both interactions made me feel as though I was inconveniencing the staff by asking for assistance. People contacting the non-emergency line are often already dealing with stressful or upsetting circumstances. They should be treated with basic courtesy, patience, and professionalism--especially when they are making every effort to follow the reporting process correctly. My experiences with both dispatchers lacked all three.

My last visit was the first time I came in autumn and couldn't believe all the fall colors!! Now I've been here in all seasons and they're all wonderful but I think winter might be my fave - the snow is beautiful! And they get migratory birds in from the Arctic Tundra! The population is around 25,000 and the city is as settled back in 1847. Back in 2011, it was even ranked 12th on Money magazine's "Best Places to Live" index!! They have a fun and popular amusement park called The Lagoon that everyone loves. And there's a huge center full of great restaurants and shops called Station Park that is super popular. Incredible people and gorgeous Utah scenery with tons of hiking trails and the hustle and bustle of SLC right next door - definitely one of my top 10 places to visit! Highly recommend!

Wants your ID and will run your plates...for no good reason. He's bored on his late-night shift and goes on "fishing" expeditions. Too many people here are afraid to say anything, lest the police retaliate. I filed a complaint and the PD never even contacted me.

I also live in Midvale, they take the cake as the worst by far. Lazy, refuse to do their job, they just don't care. Multiple people in my neighborhood call about a troublesome home that sells drugs and what does UPD do? Literally nothing. Not a single patrol vehicle even drove by. They were moving a lot of product that day, they would have witnessed plenty of illegal activity had they responded. So sad. It'll be too late when they finally decide to help. I have zero faith in UPD to protect my family and home. I could also tell stories about how officers (two that I know of for sure) that were literally fired for negligence in their previous department that were hired shortly after by UPD. Proof they don't care who works for them. Can't wait til I can move to a non UPD covered area.
