Join Senator John Johnson as he welcomes Matthew Gwynn, Roy City Police Chief and Utah House of Representatives from the 6th district for an insightful discussion on key legislation shaping the 2025 session.
The Utah state legislature needs experienced law enforcement officers when debating and voting on public safety policy. Public safety is the largest consumer of municipal budgets and public safety legislation, next to education, is a priority of the state legislative bodies. The problem is that decisions made at the state level, while well-intended, can have a negative impact on local police and fire agencies. Matt has 23 years of law enforcement experience and will use that experience in debating and voting for common-sense and effective public safety solutions. Legislators may think they have an idea about the realities that confront public safety officials and the communities they serve. Very few, if any, have responded to or have taken a role in managing or working a critical incident. Matt actually knows and has responded to the challenges that municipalities confront regarding outcomes of public safety policy created by the state. His experience on the Weber Fire District Board of Trustees provides him with the knowledge of the challenges facing the fire service as well. There is not a more well-rounded public safety experienced legislator on Capitol Hill than Matthew Gwynn
