Subject: Correction Re: Can SLCPD assign officers to UTA Green Line trains?

After visiting the Salt Lake City Main Library today and pursuing online factual  research there about cocaine, I need to correct my statement below in which I paraphrased a recent  in-person  comment to me  by a Utah Transit Authority (UTA) train operator.

I now believe that the UTA train operator who spoke with me had stated that numerous  teenage passengers on UTA Green Line trains SMOKE cocaine inside those  trains. (The UTA train operator also stated to me that the teenage cocaine smokers on UTA Green Line trains attempt to conceal their activity by using a special  large coat that they are each wearing for that purpose.)

I am making  this "smoke cocaine" correction  because  the UTA train operator whom I spoke with told me that "I can smell it (the evidence of cocaine consumption) from my cab (where the operator is stationed while on duty)."  

It is possible that the UTA train operator who spoke with me about this issue also used the word "crack", as in "crack cocaine".  I was not taking notes when I spoke with him outdoors for a matter of seconds here in Salt Lake City. 

I myself take pride in having never consumed any cocaine on any occasion in my entire life. 

I would like  to help  promote a significant reduction in cocaine consumption levels  throughout all of Utah. I strongly support very affordable (or free) and very successful   "cocaine-addiction treatment programs" for as many Utahns under age 30 as possible, possibly with help from additional Utah State Legislature  funding toward that very crucial societal goal for our entire state.

I hope this combined  correction and follow-up note  is helpful.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Subject: Can SLCPD assign officers to UTA Green Line trains?

February 22, 2024

Dear Very Honorable Salt Lake City  Police Department  Officers here in this state-capital city for Utah,

 I greatly appreciate the courageous in-person report I received n the last few days from a Utah Transit Authority (UTA) train operator that there is a major problem of teenage UTA Green Line passengers in the Salt Lake City area snorting crack cocaine while riding on  Green Line trains.

Does your  Salt Lake City Police Department have the option of  requesting and obtaining official permission from UTA to assign undercover SLCPD Narcotics Investigators to ride incognito in those Green Line trains that travel in Salt Lake City, including on  Green Line routes to and from  the Salt Lake City Airport?

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

former Texas DPS full-time employee John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor,  Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
