On-air announcement names Brian Redd as Salt Lake City’s police chief selection
Summary
An unidentified on-air city official announced Brian Redd as Salt Lake City’s selection for police chief on the Capital City News program; Redd thanked the speaker and pledged to serve residents and staff. The transcript records the announcement but not a formal appointment vote.
An unidentified on-air city official announced on Capital City News: “Today, I’m naming Brian Redd as my selection for Salt Lake City’s next police chief.” The on-air remark named Brian Redd as the city’s choice for the post but the program did not record any subsequent formal confirmation vote or ordinance.
Brian Redd, identified in the broadcast as the nominee, responded on-air: “I appreciate your confidence in me, and I look forward to serving alongside the amazing police officers and civilian staff in the Salt Lake City Police Department. To the residents of the city, I’m honored to serve you and pledge my best effort in providing excellent police services, so that residents and visitors alike will feel safe and supported and part of the Salt Lake community.”
The broadcast presented the naming as a selection announcement; the program did not include a recorded vote, an effective date for any appointment, or details on the next procedural steps for confirmation. The transcript likewise does not state who made the selection by name on the program, and no council or mayoral action appears in the episode’s text. Redd’s on-air remarks framed his priorities as improving service and community safety.
Next steps were not specified on the broadcast. The on-air announcement functions as a public naming of a nominee; formal appointment or confirmation procedures (if any) were not described during the episode.
