Although the response times for the Salt Lake City police department are still among the slowest in Utah, Chief Mike Brown referred to it as 'a big success and a big win for our department.'
SALT LAKE CITY — On average, officers with the Salt Lake City Police Department arrived on the scene of the most urgent 911 calls in 9 minutes, 55 seconds in November.
Although that time is still among the slowest in Utah, SLCPD Chief Mike Brown referred to it as"a big success and a big win for our department."In October, [http://FOX 13 Investigates: Salt Lake City lowers the bar for police response times]a FOX 13 News investigation showed how the department quietly lowered its response time standards.
SLCPD's stated goal for Priority 1 calls used to be five minutes. The goal has since been changed to ten minutes. The department indicated the public should expect slower response times in 2023 as it continues to deal with staffing shortages."What we've done over the last four months, we asked our officers - this is the entire department - our detectives, patrol - to take on an additional seven days, ten-hour shifts, of overtime," Brown explained."We'll look at different strategies and plans moving forward," Brown said.

Photos: Inside the Salt Mines 2,000 Feet Below Lake Erie, Just Outside of Cleveland You probably don't know that vast salt mines operated by Morton Salt are sitting beneath Lake Erie in Fairport Harbor, just about a half an hour outside of Cleveland. And even if you knew that, you definitely haven't been down there and likely haven't seen pictures of what it's like. Photographer Ricky Rhodes took the photographs in this gallery for a newsletter for K+S, Morton's parent company. They give a glimpse into the size and scope of the operation, which mines 1.3 million pounds of salt each year and began in 1958. The operation includes some 170 workers and the main area, including many of the veins and corridors you see here, is located some three miles out into and below the lake. To read more on the process, check out this piece from Wired.
