Salt Lake County changed their police response policy drastically limiting when police officers would respond to alarm signals within unincorporated Salt Lake County, and those cities who contract with Salt Lake County Sheriff to act as their police force, including but not limited to Draper, Kearns, Magna, Riverton, and Bluffdale . Following is a recap of their new policy:

1.Police officers WILL still respond to any MANUALLY activated Panic, Duress, or Hold Up alarm signal. This is unchanged from their previous policy.

2.On all other alarm signals generated by an electronic device such as door sensors, window sensors, glass break sensors, and motion detectors, the police WILL respond ONLY IF a the customer or someone on the customer's behalf is first contacted and is responding to the scene to meet the officer within 20 minutes. If the customer does not have anyone who can respond to meet the officer at the location of the alarm, the Sheriff Department WILL NOT send an officer to investigate. It is their feeling that if the customer doesn't care enough to show up, then they won't either. IMPORTANT: if you as the customer can not assure that you or someone representing you will always be available to respond to the alarm in the event of an activation, you should seriously consider instead, a private guard must response first on these types of signals. If the guard determines after arriving at the location of the alarm, that a police response is needed, they will call the police directly and request a police response.
