Agency: Public Safety

Line Item: Public Safety Programs & Operations

Function

The Public Safety Programs and Operations line item is the single largest line item within the department. It consists of over 50 percent of the Public Safety budget. Programs include the Aero Bureau, the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP), Administrative Services, State Fire Marshal, Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), State Crime Lab, and others.

Background

The Public Safety Programs and Operations Line Item was created by the Legislature during the 2002 General Session. This action consolidated the following line items: Commissioner's Office; Administrative Services; Utah Highway Patrol; Information Management; Fire Marshall; and Criminal Investigations and Technical Services.

Intent Language

Under Section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for Programs and Operations in Item 25 of Chapter 2 Laws of Utah 2011 not lapse at the close of fiscal year 2012.

The Legislature intends that the Department of Public Safety appropriate $205,786.00 to public interest use pursuant to Section 77-24-4(3) of the Utah Code as this money was originally seized by the Utah Highway Patrol as evidence in three separate criminal investigations, but was not claimed by the owners after they were notified that it no longer needed to be held as evidence. Funds for the Department will be limited to equipment, training and the payment of attorney fees.

The Legislature intends that the Department of Public Safety is allowed to increase its fleet by 4 vehicles due to expansion of its security contract with Salt Lake Community College to now include the Jordan campus. Funding for the vehicles will be provided through the security contract.

If the Legislature approves appropriations for additional troopers, the Department is authorized to purchase additional vehicles for those troopers.

Program: Aero Bureau

Function

The Aero Bureau implements various functions for both state and local governments. These functions are composed of emergency shuttles of blood and medical supplies, drug interdiction, search and rescue, law enforcement observation, transportation of department and other officials, and other activities.

Background

The Aero Bureau was initially created in 1961 within the Highway Patrol. The bureau consists of the following aircraft: one Cessna Station Air single engine airplane (jointly owned with Utah Department of Transportation) and two Eurocopter Astar single engine helicopters. Due to budget reductions during the 2008 General Session, funding was cut for the operation of one Beech Baron Twin engine airplane and it was subsequently sold.

Performance

The number of flights largely drives the costs of the Aero Bureau.

Program: CITS Bureau of Criminal Identification

Function

The Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) was established in 1927. To fulfill the required duties, BCI has been divided into seven sections. They are as follows:

  • The Record Section is responsible for entering data into the Utah Computerized Criminal History (UCCH) file of all submitted criminal arrests and the outcome of these arrests. Expungement eligibility is also determined by this section and upon issuing an Expungement Order, it is its responsibility to expunge the Utah record and forward all necessary paperwork to the FBI to assure the accuracy of an individual's record. Employment background checks for qualifying entities are also processed in this section. The UCCH database contains over one million arrest records.

  • The Fingerprint/AFIS Section verifies and classifies all fingerprints that are submitted to BCI whether for criminal or applicant purposes. BCI is a member of the Western Identification Network (WIN) which allows Utah agencies to access data from the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) consisting of seven western states, the California Department of Justice (CAL-DOJ) and the Washington State Police.

  • The Telecommunications/Quality Assurance Section operates as a 24x7x365 helpline for all criminal justice agencies statewide and across the country. BCI is the Control Terminal Agency for the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS). This section also provides ongoing research into open arrest records and prosecution records in cooperation with the courts of Utah to assure record quality and reliability.

  • The Auditing and Training/Data Collection and Analysis Section is responsible for the training in the proper use of the Utah Criminal Justice Information System (UCJIS) files. Proficiency testing of all users and auditing agencies is also done by this section. The gathering and compiling of statewide statistics and producing the "Crime in Utah Report" is performed by this section. BCI is the Missing Person Clearinghouse for Utah and resides within this section.

  • The Support Service Section assists citizens wishing to review or challenge their own Utah criminal record as well as processing all incoming mail and tending to the financial issues that are handled through the bureau.

  • The Investigations Section issues Private Investigator and Bail Enforcement Agent licenses. Investigations are also handled through the firearms section. Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW), Private Investigator and Bail Enforcement appeal boards are overseen by the Firearms staff. Employees of the Investigations Section work closely with firearms instructors/dealers to ensure state and federal laws are followed.

  • The Firearms Section conducts background checks on individuals wishing to purchase a firearm. Additional research is conducted on those individuals missing data on their criminal record. Background checks are also conducted on those wishing to obtain a Concealed Weapon Permit. Permits are created after an individual passes the required background check. This section is also responsible for the suspensions and revocations of concealed permits.

Program: CITS State Crime Labs

Function

The State Crime Lab deals with evidence related to crimes and crime scenes for agencies throughout the state. Trace evidence includes even the smallest quantity of such materials as hair, fiber, glass, paint, and explosives. Equipment involved, such as high intensity microscopes and imaging systems, is both expensive and highly technical. This type of equipment is beyond the capacity of most local law enforcement agencies. Sexual assault protocols have been established and provided to doctors and nurses in emergency rooms throughout the state to preserve and protect the evidence needed in such cases. DNA testing is now done on state-of-the-art instrumentation.

The Crime Lab receives some funding from the DNA Specimen Account. Much of the responsibility of processing DNA has moved from the Department of Corrections to Public Safety (2010 General Session).

Performance

The following measurements are output measures reported by the State Crime Lab.

Program: Highway Patrol - Field Operations

Function

The officers patrol the major highways within the state and are responsible for police traffic services. This program provides some 24-hour coverage in the counties situated along the Wasatch Front. All other counties are patrolled during peak traffic periods. Officers are on call to respond at any time to an emergency. During off-peak times, many rural roads are covered by local law enforcement.

Field Operations is organized into five field bureaus. The bureaus are set up on a geographical basis. Each field bureau is commanded by a captain and divided into sections with each section commanded by a lieutenant. A section may be further divided into districts.

The patrol has a number of motorcycles that are effectively used in heavy traffic conditions where access to accidents is limited. In Utah, such vehicles can be used as much as eight months of the year.

Performance

Included below are primary performance metrics that the Highway Patrol - Field Operations program uses to monitor performance. Included are motor vehicle crash fatality rates, and DUI related crimes.

Motor vehicle crash fatality rates have steadily declined since 2001.

Crash Fatalities1

While both national and Utah crash fatality rates have declined over time, the Utah fatality rate has declined at a faster rate.

Fatality Rate2

Additional output measures are included below.

Program: Highway Patrol - Federal/State Projects

Function

The Federal Projects program funds one-time or special expenditures of the Utah Highway Patrol with federal funds. These projects include such items as overtime paid on holidays, highway speed control, community traffic safety, fatigued drivers prevention, alcohol/drug prevention, seat belt demos, and equipment purchases. Because the federal funds are often initially received by another agency and then passed on to Public Safety, they may appear as transfer funds in budget documentation.

Program: Fire Marshall - Fire Operations

Function

The major activities of the Fire Marshal's office are conducted in this program. This budget funds the operations of the arson investigation, fire code enforcement, liquefied petroleum gas, portable fire extinguishers, automatic suppression systems, and Utah Fire Incident Reporting System.

One of the major areas of responsibility of the Fire Prevention program is fire code enforcement for approximately 9,055 public-owned buildings throughout the state. Included in this group are most schools, some nursing homes, some hospitals, jails and penal institutions.

The State Fire Marshal provides a level of expertise often lacking in many local fire and police departments in the state. The office assists any department having trouble identifying the fire origin and cause. Numerous training classes are held to educate fire fighters and law enforcement officers in their ability to be able to recognize the "red flags" of arson.

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) laws must be enforced throughout the state and the office inspects about 550 sites and tests and certifies over 1,100 dispensing units.

In addition to the previously mentioned responsibilities, the State Fire Marshal's office recognizes a primary responsibility of educating the public concerning fire prevention. Most of the education is provided through the school system, but the Fire Marshal provides training for local fire agencies as well as local seminars and public meetings.

Performance

The following performance measurements are included below as reported by the Fire Marshall. The metrics link to their major statutory responsibilities - fire code compliance with both state and school buildings show no specific trends in the past two years.

Program: Fire Marshall - Fire Fighter Training

Function

The Firefighter Training program funds contractual firefighting training at Utah Valley University for the training of the state's 240+ fire departments and over 5,800 fire fighters. (Over 90 percent are volunteers.)

The Firefighter Training School is physically located at Utah Valley University in Orem and at the Provo airport. Such training requires specialized areas where live fire fighting training can be conducted with relative safety to the community.

This training helps ensure that firefighters are properly trained to handle any fire disaster that might occur in the state. Utah Valley University currently offers training for firefighters throughout the state.

Background

During the 1993 General Session of the Legislature, a tax on property insurance premiums was enacted to establish a funding source for a fire academy in the state. These funds are deposited into a restricted fund for training firefighters.
