On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Detective Scott Lloyd of the Taylorsville City Police Department. When a child was acting out, more than just a tantrum. As the boy was being held down Detective Lloyd deescalated the situation, preventing any harm to the people surrounding the officer, or himself. It lead to the child getting real help for the issues he has been struggling with while keeping the child's dignity and self respect. 

KSL's Beyond the Badge recognizes the good work that Utah's public safety officers do every day to make each of our lives better. Listen to Utah's Morning News every weekday as Amanda Dickson highlights the everyday heroes who work tirelessly to keep us safe.

Officers are nominated by their respective police chiefs, sheriffs and supervisors, and the general public. Those featured are selected by a committee composed of representatives from KSL, the Department of Public Safety and Utah Local Governments Trust. KSL has also partnered with the Utah Lieutenant Governor to help execute the program.

Beyond the badge is sponsored by the Utah Local Government's Trust. Protecting those who protect you. Providing specialized insurance products and services protecting more than 540 local governments. Be safe, and come home.
