We don't need 15 police depts inSalt Lake Counry. We need a Sheriff to do civil and the jail as under the state constitution. We need a Salt Lake county Police Dept with 1 Chief of Police, I deputy chief of police and maybe 15 sub-stations based in the various cities staffed by a commander (major or Capt) depending on population of the city and the same with numbers of patrol and middle management. Cities could pay for additional officers if they feel the need. This would reduce the price of service due to reducing the amount of overhead and greater effort can be placed on special units like SWAT, Gang, Bomb and such without duplicating.
