“We Just Never Give Up”: Chief Brian Redd on Public Safety in Salt Lake City
In this episode of House Rules, Rep. Tyler Clancy sits down with Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd to talk about law enforcement, homelessness, and public safety in Utah’s capital city.
Chief Redd reflects on his first 100 days as chief, sharing his top priorities: hiring, morale, fentanyl, mental health, and the overlap between addiction, crime, and homelessness. “The streets are a death sentence,” he says, calling for a system that offers both accountability and help.
They also discuss Mayor Mendenhall’s public safety plan, lessons from Operation Rio Grande, and why collaboration between state and local leaders is key to real progress.
