John,


Thank you for contacting me.


The Utah Capitol has its own security team under DPS. I’ve copied the director of DPS so that he can assure you that the Utah State Capitol is well protected.


Warm regards,


Karianne Lisonbee


Majority Whip


House of Representatives

Subject: Unconfirmed report re: 'no security' at UT State Capitol


 


June 7, 2024


 


Dear Distinguished Government Officials for Utah,


 


I received an unconfirmed report this week from a visitor to Salt Lake City whom I had never met or spoken with before that when she visited the Utah State Capitol in the last several days, she saw no evidence that the Utah State Capitol was being protected by any security officers.


 


I myself have not yet visited our State Capitol. I look forward to pursuing that personal goal of mine during my leisuretime in the near future.


 


 


Do any of you honorable government officials for Utah believe or suspect that the Utah State Capitol currently is not being adequately protected against would-be terrorists and other potentially violent persons?


 


If so, do you support additional funding for the Utah Department of Public Safety that will enable that state law-enforcement agency to hire additional officers, if need be,  who could help ensure that our State Capitol grounds are kept safe on a 24-hour-a-day and year-round basis?


 


 I hope to hear from you soon.


 


Best Wishes,


John Kevin McMillan, a gainfully employed, permanently alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, facially cleanshaven,  lifelong-tattoo-less, clean-talking and non-profane, dependably civil and law-abiding and honest, single adult white male permanent resident of Utah ever since January 1, 2023.


I am a former full-time employee in Austin, Texas, for the Texas Department of Public Safety state agency.


My current permanent solo-occupancy rental-home address:


 535 South 200 East, Apt. 117, First Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
