FY 2016 Appropriation

The Utah Highway Patrol has statutory responsibility to provide security for the Governor and his family, both houses of the Legislature while in session, and visiting dignitaries as directed. The operations costs for this unit are directly related to the situation and style of the Governor in office. The program is successful if the Governor or his immediate family is not intentionally harmed by anyone or anything. The program's success is also measured by the Governor's satisfaction.
