On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Officer Thomas Talbert of the Moab City Police & Deputy Austin Brewer of the Grand County Sheriff's Department. Both officers were called to a restaurant where a man had discharged a firearm outside. When the man ran inside to the restaurant with a couple hundred people, the officers took precautionary measures to get the gun away from the man, while also keeping the people in the restaurant safe. No one was injured in this terrifying experience.  

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.
