Frequently Asked Questions

South Jordan has a new police substation that will be directly across the street from the new stadium. This increases police presence generally and will provide a base station to work from during large events. The police department will have sufficient staff to patrol the new urban center regularly and additional staff for event times will be added to ensure that residents can enjoy a family atmosphere while at the stadium for a baseball game or other event.

Additional police staffing (paid for by event organizers) will be added for security and traffic control purposes, which is typical for large events in other cities like Jazz games, Real Salt Lake games, or other community events. This staffing measure ensures police will be able to respond quickly to any event-related public safety needs.

The police department routinely works with neighborhoods on various problems or concerns.  The department also has a new substation located in the heart of Daybreak and directly across the street from where the new stadium will be built. This brings the police department closer to the residents it serves and will increase the collaboration with residents and business owners.  The city also uses a traffic committee, which includes the police department and other city departments, to address various traffic concerns. Lastly, the police department will work with the Daybreak HOA and other community stakeholders to address and minimize various other impacts that may come with development in the area.

As the City continues to grow, public safety will continue to anticipate and prepare for increases in demand for services. The South Jordan Fire Department has plans to expand services and add personnel, facilities, and equipment over both the mid-and long-term. This includes future plans for the addition of another fire station to service the City’s farthest west side. Currently, the South Jordan Fire Department is well set up to respond to calls for service in the community, which includes the increase in calls that is likely to result from this development. 

South Jordan adds additional police officers every year to manage the service needs of a growing city.  Over the last eight years, the city has added 3-4 officers per year. As the City grows, the police department will continue to analyze crime, traffic, and more to ensure resident service level expectations are met. Special events will be covered by police officers on an overtime basis which allows for an appropriate surge in police staffing during event times.
