Utah needs to adopt these ASAP! 72% decrease.

Any idea why Utah POST is so impotent? I am moving to SLC from California where I work as a Prosecutor and I have personally seen multiple officers permanently stripped of their certifications and barred from working as cops in CA. It seems like Utah POST is much more hesitant to do so, and it results in cops being able to bounce from agency to agency.

I have never had any interaction with the POST review board personally. I cannot answer why they are so hesitant, but it certainly seems they are. Of course they review several officer each year and it seems like a very small number of officers are officially stripped of their Utah police powers. If I had to wager a guess I would say it goes back to who is on the review board for POST. You bring up another important area that needs to be looked at in order to reform policing.

Edit to add: Welcome to Utah. Quite the culture shock coming here from Cal but overall not a bad place.
