At this time, SLCPD has discontinued its initial review of the product.

“As law enforcement, we are hopeful for the assistance that a product like Banjo offers. But we do take personal privacy very seriously.

Because of this we want to make sure we fully vet any product before sharing their information,” said SLCPD Chief Mike Brown.
