Today was special - we had the privilege of dedicating 500 West in Provo, as Master Officer Joseph Shinners Memorial Boulevard. Joe was shot and killed in the line of duty on January 5th, 2019, whilst protecting the life of a fellow officer and citizen. We are proud to see his name standing tall in our community, and it was fitting to be able to honor him on his birthday.

We bear witness to communities in pain, fear, grief, and uncertainty.
We are present for moments people never forget.
We are present for moments we may not be prepared for.
Presence is part of the job.
Presence is an honor.

At approximately 9:15pm on Saturday, September 19th, Provo police officers were dispatched to a report of a domestic violence assault in public, near 2230 N University Parkway, Provo. The victim reported the suspect had a gun. After officers had arrived on-scene, two officers discharged their duty weapons, striking the suspect. Officers performed medical aid on scene before the male was transported by medics, to Utah Valley Hospital. The male did not survive.

The investigation is being handled by the Utah County Officer-Involved Critical Incident (OICI) team, which reports to the Utah County Attorney’s Office. Because of our respect for the proper investigation process, we will not be providing further details on the circumstances of this incident.

In line with standard protocol, the officers involved will be placed on administrative leave, and our department is providing them with critical-incident support.
