With the name change from the SO to the new Unified Police Dept, what does everyone think about updating the SO talk groups to UPD talk group names in the DB (ie. UPD Tac 1)
Maybe when they actually have vehicles that say Unified Police Department I'd think about it. Or if they get their police fee paid by the unincorps in the county so they can afford to in the first place. Seriously it's something to look forward to doing now that we know there were no TG changes.With the name change from the SO to the new Unified Police Dept, what does everyone think about updating the SO talk groups to UPD talk group names in the DB (ie.

Well, to be technical, Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake is their official name. (Try saying that quickly)The only change I am wondering about is changing the title names in the DB from "Salt Lake County Sheriff Tac 1" to "Unified Police Tac 1", etc. I have heard most all other departments refer to them as UPD now so I thought a name/info change would also be in order.
Which brings up my confusion on of the issue. Does this mean that Salt Lake County no longer has a Sherriffs Department? Are they going to new Badges and Patches?Well, to be technical, Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake is their official name. (Try saying that quickly)
However, if memory serves (which it doesn't always) only the road guys will be UPD. The Jail and Protection divisions will remain Salt Lake County Sheriff's. Could cause a bit of confusion at times.
The Sheriff's Department still exists.Which brings up my confusion on of the issue. Does this mean that Salt Lake County no longer has a Sherriffs Department? Are they going to new Badges and Patches?
