On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Officer Nate Rackham of the Brigham City Police Department. Officer Rackham was helping a sergeant with a traffic stop where someone was arrested on a warrant. In the car was a mother and three kids in the car. He got the permission to get them a hotel room and paid for it with his own money. He didn't feel good about leaving them out in the cold without anywhere to go. 

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.
