Information from Commissioner Squires to Law Enforfcement Officers Re: .05 BAC

UPC has been given permission to publish an e-mail Commissioner Squires sent out to law enforcement officers regarding the new .05 BAC so that as prosecutors you are aware of the information they are receiving.  Also included is a fact sheet he included with his e-mail.

Chiefs and Sheriffs,

Some of you have reached out to me wanting to know where the Department of Public Safety stands on the implementation of the new blood alcohol content (BAC) limit change from .08 to .05. As a department, we do not expect a significant change for law enforcement and how DUI enforcement is currently handled. Law enforcement officers in Utah, consistent with national standard, are trained to make arrests for DUI based on impairment and the inability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

Until the new .05 limit takes effect December 30, 2018, we will make sure to communicate and work with our law enforcement partners across the state. This includes working closely with all public stakeholders as this change is implemented.

I’d like to share the following information with you from our Utah Highway Patrol Breath Alcohol Technician Program on how we will continue DUI enforcement and address any misconceptions that may be presented by constituents. I encourage all of you to reference these facts as you see fit. This same information has been passed along to the Governor and his senior staff.

Sincerely,

Keith D. Squires
Commissioner

Thanks Donna!

Training at Basic 2016

As you should already know, Donna Kelly has accepted a position with the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office.  We are going to miss Donna at UPC but know she will accomplish great things at the DA's office.

I and the Council want to thank her for her years of service to UPC.  She has accomplished great things on behalf of victims here in Utah and nationally.  The work she has done in the area of trauma has revolutionized how many offices now treat victims of violent assault.  We are better prosecutors because of her work. 

We wish you the very best Donna!!
