Midvale police report major narcotics seizure during otherwise average January
Summary
Unified Police Department Chief April Morse told the council the department handled 2,216 calls and 755 cases in January and highlighted a traffic stop that produced seizures of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, crack and approximately $25,000 in cash.
Chief April Morse gave Midvale City Council a concise monthly report for January, saying the department handled 2,216 calls that produced 755 cases and issued 273 traffic citations.
She emphasized one traffic stop that led to a substantial narcotics seizure: "The total number of calls was 2,216 resulting in 755 cases; this number is average for what they usually take," Morse said, and staff reported the stop yielded 4 pounds of fentanyl pills, 164 grams of heroin, 27 grams of cocaine, 15 grams of crack cocaine and about $25,000 in U.S. currency. The chief did not identify suspects or provide further prosecutorial details during the public report.
The council did not take action on the report; it was presented for information and routine oversight. The department noted the number of citations and cases was consistent with prior months, and the council did not request additional follow‑up at the meeting.
