Weber State Police Department prepares for new officers and policy updates

During the North Ogden City Council meeting on April 8, 2025, significant updates regarding the police department were shared, highlighting efforts to strengthen community safety and enhance law enforcement resources.

One of the key announcements was the conditional job offer extended to a new police officer who is currently self-sponsored and training at the Weber State Police Academy. This officer is expected to graduate on May 2, marking a positive step towards filling vacancies within the police force. The ongoing recruitment efforts also include background investigations for two lateral police officer candidates, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining adequate staffing levels.

In addition to new hires, the meeting revealed that Officer Griggs and his canine partner, Anya, have successfully passed all required certifications and are now actively deployed on the streets. This development not only enhances the department's capabilities but also strengthens community policing efforts.

Furthermore, Chief Inan is working on an update to the departmental policy manual, which is anticipated to be published in the coming weeks. This update aims to ensure that the police department's policies remain current and effective, reflecting best practices in law enforcement.

These updates from the police department underscore the city’s commitment to public safety and community well-being, as officials work diligently to enhance law enforcement resources and services for North Ogden residents.
