Come meet with your Police

Crime fighting and crime prevention is key to a vibrant West Valley City. I have often told residents that getting to know the Police department and how they operate is a good way for you to help them in helping you. This along with the huge popularity of some of our K-9 officers has spawned a new event that takes place on the second Saturday of every month at the Valley Fair Mall. Below are the details on this event that took place on Saturday and what you can look forward to in future events:


Public invited to get to know the West Valley City Police Department WHAT: 2 with Talos
WHEN: Saturday, October 8, 2011 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
(Continues on the second Saturday of each month)
WHERE: Valley Fair Mall Center Court 3601 South 2700 West
West Valley City, UT 84119
WHO: Everyone is invited to this free event.
WHY: Beginning on Saturday, October 8, 2011, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., the public is invited to get to know the West Valley City Police Department and their newest K9 officer, Talos, during a monthly 2 with Talos event at Valley Fair Mall.
2 with Talos, a partnership program between West Valley City and Valley Fair Mall, will provide residents an opportunity to meet and get to know the West Valley City Police Department. Visitors will get to meet and interact with Talos, a narcotics K9, and will receive his “paw”-tographed trading card (beginning in November). In addition, crime prevention information, home safety information, child ID kits and other helpful resources will be available at each event.
Talos is a member of the West Valley City Police Department K9 Unit and serves as a
narcotics K9. Talos’ trainer, Officer Steve Beardshall, works in the Community Services Section of the Police Department.
2 with Talos will be held on the second Saturday of every month, from 2:00 to 4:00
p.m., at Valley Fair Mall.
