About the Weber County Sheriff's Office
Consisting of 661 square miles and nestled
between the Great Salt Lake and the beautiful Wasatch Mountains,
Weber County is a great place for discoveries. The unspoiled
beauty of the land, the friendliness of the people, and the
fascinating history of the region offer limitless possibilities
for fun and excitement. Weber County has long been the crossroads
of Utah and the Intermountain West. Its eastern boundary is
the spine of the Wasatch mountains, with their towering peaks
and sharp valleys. In the west it extends into the Great Salt
Lake. Both mountains and flatlands are laced by the Ogden
and Weber Rivers and their tributaries.
Weber County is the second smallest county
in land mass and the fourth largest in population in the State
of Utah, with a population now approaching 200,000 residents.
There are fifteen incorporated cities within Weber County.
Of that number, Weber County Sheriff's Office provides all
direct law-enforcement services for seven of those cities.
The Sheriff's Office also contracts with the U. S. Forest
Service to provide additional security in the Wasatch-Cache
National Forest.
The Sheriff's Office also provides School
Resource Officers in one high school and three junior high
schools. In addition, we also provide the DARE program to
eight elementary schools throughout the county. We are also
participating in the Youth Court program. This program is
county-wide and is run with help from many agencies throughout
the county to help our youth become better citizens.
Brad W. Slater was appointed Sheriff in
1997 and was elected in 1998 to serve through 2002. He was
born and raised in Weber County, leaving the area for a brief
period to begin his career in law enforcement in Lincoln County,
Wyoming.
