Chief Gives Tour of Salt Lake City Center

Salt Lake City (Utah) police chief Chris Burbank has provided a 12-minute tour of the city’s new public safety communications center, part of an on-going series of videos to improve citizen understanding of the police department. Along with comm center director Scott Freitag, Burbank explains how the center was constructed to replace a 50 year-old center, and to unify communications across law enforcement, fire and EMS. In the video, Burbank notes that technology is not the critical component of the new center. “I think the thing that’s most important—all the bells and whistles and incredible technology. But, it really is the people who make the difference.”
