The publication also includes citations vs. bookings; the variety of booking charges; issues identified and actions taken; officer recognition; and profiles on officers tasked to the Homeless Outreach Services Team, aka HOST.

Anyone in the area is encouraged to send public safety questions, issues or story ideas to MetroSupportIssues@slcgov.com.
