A. The Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) provides that a Salt Lake City Corporation (City) record is public unless otherwise expressly provided by statute. GRAMA also reflects a legislative intent that favors public access to information when, in the application of GRAMA, countervailing interests in disclosure and in privacy are of equal weight.
B. The City recognizes that the public has a strong interest in viewing body worn camera (BWC) recordings of officer involved critical incidents (OICIs) involving Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) officers. This chapter is intended to prescribe rules to be followed by the City with respect to the release of SLCPD BWC recordings of OICIs involving SLCPD officers. (2019 Compilation)
