SALT LAKE CITY —
The department has declined to answer questions about either investigation, prompting some to ask why Chief Brown enforces “different rules for different officers.”Some say there's a "witch hunt" to find out who is providing us information.This is not the way @SLCPD was operated when I moved here in 2019.Captain Beener is one of SLCPD’s longest-tenured officers.
“I think that sticker is from another vehicle of his or whatever, and he put it on because we had planned on – we had planned on getting the emissions done,” he said.Based on this interview, @WestBountifulPD opened a criminal investigation against dad. pic.twitter.com/2zArqrrNrX“Yeah,” the suspect responded.
— Adam Herbets March 23, 2023 The West Bountiful Police Department secured a search warrant for both of Captain Beener’s phones and reviewed text messages. “thank u for the stickers on the fusion thank u for letting me take the fusion I made sure and will try to make sure I got speed limit always .” Months later, Captain Beener sent a message to a manager with SLCPD asking for a new registration sticker for his police vehicle:
Jeffries said the text messages obtained by West Bountiful PD are “kind of sketchy,” but likely not enough evidence for prosecutors to take the case to trial. According to Chief Erekson, the officer would have likely been fired by now if he worked for the West Bountiful Police Department rather than SLCPD.The department would not even confirm if Captain Beener still works for SLCPD.
“If you do want to go talk to the press and clear your name, sometimes you’re ordered not to,” Jeffries said. “That’s just the way it is.”The secrecy surrounding Captain Beener’s case is not consistent with other SLCPD internal affairs investigations. “Our officers we believe did as they were trained,” Mayor Mendenhall said at the time. “We still stand by while acknowledging that deeper investigations are taking place.”
