Sheriff Jared Rigby’s future with Utah POST could be decided tomorrow
SANDY, Utah — Members of the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council are expected to discuss and decide Wasatch County Sheriff Jared Rigby's future during an emergency meeting Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Sandy.
The video shows Rigby accused of “bullying” and “intimidating” a Heber City police officer who reported Chief Dave Booth for grabbing a handcuffed suspect by the neck.Several Heber City officers said they believe Rigby and Booth are “friends” who “hang out together” and are members of the same church, which is why the city chose him to lead the investigation.
In an interview with FOX 13 News, Rigby insisted that he interviewed Booth as part of the internal affairs investigation and that it should appear in his report. Department of Public Safety Commissioner Jess Anderson will also attend the meeting. His role is to appoint a candidate to the POST Director position upon recommendation by POST Council and with the approval of Governor Spencer Cox, pursuant to 53-6-104.
