Unified Police introduces new COP detective; UPD and UFA report steady call volumes
Summary
Unified Police introduced George Jacoborian as a new COP detective and reported recent busy weeks including a SWAT barricade, park incident and 850 calls over two weeks; UFA Station 111 introduced its crew and shared second-quarter activity updates.
Unified Police briefed the council on recent operations and personnel changes at the July 22 meeting. Del Craig announced George Jacoborian will begin full-time as the COP detective on Sunday after a hybrid shift; Jacoborian has 19 years of policing experience and five years working in Magna.
Del Craig and UPD summarized recent high-profile responses: an incident involving a vehicle and home requiring coordination with UFA for evacuations, a SWAT barricade call involving multiple partner agencies, and a large park incident requiring K-9, SWAT and violent-crime units. During the most recent two-week period UPD recorded about 850 calls with 276 long-form reports and 114 traffic citations; Del Craig highlighted that response times stayed steady during high-profile incidents because of mutual-aid support from neighboring jurisdictions.
Separately, UFA Captain Matt Wyatt introduced the Station 111 platoon crew and showed proposed patch and shirt designs. Station staff described their roles, introduced probationary and paramedic personnel, and invited council feedback about off-duty shirts and logo use.
Council members thanked UPD and UFA for their service. No formal decisions or budget votes were taken during these updates.
