Excellent reporting as always @MarinasHammer I'm a fellow Salt Lake County resident, and this is the kind of investigative work from people like you and @nickshirleyy that we need a lot more of. Media like KUTV and KSL are failing miserably at keeping regular Utahns informed about crime and public safety. Especially on WHO is committing these crimes. The whole situation stinks to high heaven. My jaw dropped when I read about people booked for violent crimes and sexual assault who were then immediately released with no real transparency or visibilty on who they were. Someone could be walking down the street next to a person who just got booked for sexual assault or aggravated assault and never know. The public has an absolute right to that information.

“Perhaps the most troubling finding of this investigation is that it required a private citizen to conduct it at all.”🎯 It is maddening. We can see it. We can sense it. We understand the intentional avoidance by the media. We know who is being protected, who is being harmed and why.😡 Thanks for putting in the research, but most importantly putting it down in writing!

Unfortunately, victims have to do a lot of their own police and detective work on their own cases while trying to deal with the aftermath of a trauma, which has many different aspects. I love how detailed and thorough you are. Thank you for connecting the dots, filling in the blanks & shining a light on things not working. I know all too well about the balls dropped, things missed, connections not made in cases, over and over again... Thank you for this.. people like us that are “nosy” and resourceful and catch things aren’t usually celebrated and thanked for this kind of stuff. We’re usually called troublemakers and all sorts of other things because when you shine a light on things not working, the people and places connected to those are not wanting those things brought to light

This is an exceptional report. Thank you for working so hard to expose the evil goings on. 🙏♥️

Another DEI hire doing what DEI hires do… She’s proudly saying she’s not locking people up per her own bio I would question her ties to gangs & narcotic trafficking I would audit the budget & see who’s taking in these “poor homeless drug addicts” and how much they’re paid

When does this become a Federal issue?

Fantastic work, my friend. A thousand thank yous. This is incredible, and explained by you in one sentence: "The cumulative effect of this has been to make it much more difficult for the taxpayer to hold the institutions and elected officials accountable."

Phenomenal work!

Essentially, the government is all about transparency unless people use it to show the citizenry how our government is failing us. Thanks for all of the uncompensated hours you’ve put into all of this. Maybe the @sltrib or @Deseret or even @tvheidihatch can do an actual story
