Salt Lake City’s police chief is frustrated over the amount of time it’s taking to book suspects into the Salt Lake County Jail.
The Deseret News reports police conducted a drug sweep Tuesday along 200 South between 200 West and 600 West in Salt Lake City. They had arrested 16 people when they called off the operation because the wait time to book suspects at the county jail had reached two hours.
Police Chief Chris Burbank says he’s concerned because this problem is becoming more frequent. He says the jail was warned weeks ago about the drug sweep.
Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. Michael DeNiro tells the Deseret News a new computer system has slowed bookings in recent weeks, but he’s not sure what the problem was Tuesday night. He says additional staff was on duty for the drug sweep.
Burbank says the police department cannot afford to have officers make arrests then wait at the jail for two hours for their suspects to be booked.
The new computer system should make bookings quicker in the future.

First Off, this news article states that a new computer system is what will speed up the booking process, well it may, but in our opinion its the actual employees who need a kick in the butt when it comes to how to work hard and how to treat visitors or inmates as a human being. From reading the complaints we have received, the computer system is just an excuse for the employees to look at while keeping visitors and inmates waiting.

“when they called off the operation because the wait time to book suspects at the county jail had reached two hours”
Every time I Have been to the SL Co jail it has taken approximately 8-20hrs to be booked and housed in quarantine.
I was booked and released at Weber Co jail for underage consumption while attending WSU. The entire process took 45 minutes.
Why is Sl Co metro so damned inefficient?
