We are calling upon the citizens of Utah to help defund the police department, in an effort to create police reform. They are planning on hiring over 20 officers in the next year, proposing an $84 million budget for the department, which is an increase of $2 million from last year. We are demanding redistribution of this money to the communities they are supposed to be protecting, decrease in the budget and demand a hiring freeze for slcpd. We want a divestment from policing and an investment in our community. This state is already over policed, if they go through with this plan, money and resources will be wasted by supporting the over policing and police brutality issues of this state.
