On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Park City Police Chief Wade Carpenter and Captain Phil Kirk and the rest of the Park City Police Department. When a woman ran out of gas, an officer stopped and helped her. Another similar situation happened when she had a flat tire. When the woman's husband and son had a head-on collision that killed her son, Captain Phil Kirk attended the funeral.

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.
