On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Corporal Jason Ruch of the Saratoga Springs Police Department. After a nasty traffic accident, Corporal Ruch wanted the young daughter involved in the accident to feel a little better. He brought her a toy, of which he had several in his car, which the daughter would later re-name to Ruch to commemorate how nice he had been to her that night. Corporal Ruch sees what he did as just another way he can help to give back to the community.

KSL's Beyond the Badge recognizes the good work that Utah's public safety officers do every day to make each of our lives better. Listen to Utah's Morning News every weekday as Amanda Dickson highlights the everyday heroes who work tirelessly to keep us safe.

Officers are nominated by their respective police chiefs, sheriffs and supervisors, and the general public. Those featured are selected by a committee composed of representatives from KSL, the Department of Public Safety and Utah Local Governments Trust. KSL has also partnered with the Utah Lieutenant Governor to help execute the program.

Beyond the badge is sponsored by the Utah Local Government's Trust. Protecting those who protect you. Providing specialized insurance products and services protecting more than 540 local governments. Be safe, and come home.
