The bill was advancing in the legislature despite her past opposition to it.Rivera added that she's confident that things can move forward regardless of whether the bill passes or not. She said that officials would have two years to figure out how to dissolve the department.
The Unified Police Department was created in 2009, bringing together unincorporated Salt Lake County and cities that joined into it. Over the years, cities have joined and left leading to a fluctuation of costs. "I chose not to oppose this bill because I have a responsibility to create long-term stability for public safety," Rivera said.
