On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Sergeant Aaron Johnson of the Utah Department of Corrections at the Utah State Prison. Sergeant Johnson wants to make sure the 98% of the inmates returning to society are the best class of citizen that they can be. Sergeant Johnson also takes his duty beyond the State Prison by helping under privledged kids learn to play football. A father of 5 himself, he's taking on a lot in 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.
