South Salt Lake selects firm to conduct follow-up police morale audit; firm has local office and litigation background
Summary
Council heard an update that Jones Skelton & Pochuli will conduct a follow-up morale audit and survey of the South Salt Lake Police Department; the city said the firm has a local office and noted its insurance-defense practice and that results will be made public when available.
Councilmember Charlotte provided an update on the city’s follow-up audit and morale survey for the South Salt Lake Police Department, announcing the selection of Jones, Skelton & Pochuli to conduct the work.
Charlotte said the city issued a request for proposals, received four responses (three from out of state), and selected Jones, Skelton & Pochuli in part because the firm has a local office and proposed a faster completion timeline than some respondents. She said Heather White of the firm will lead the audit.
Charlotte told the council the firm’s practice includes insurance defense work, including defense of cities and city employees in civil-rights and other civil litigation. She said the city is committed to hearing from both sworn and unsworn police employees and pledged that, once the audit results are available, the findings will be presented on the public record.
Charlotte also thanked City Manager Ray and councilmember Nick (and city staff) for assisting in the RFP process and said the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) had input on the RFP.
No formal vote was recorded on the selection in the transcript; Charlotte presented the update and said the city will proceed with the audit and publish results when available.
