Rigby Denied Appointment As Head Of Utah POST

(Sandy, UT) — The panel that oversees the state’s police training and standards agency is once again looking for a new director. Members of the POST Council voted yesterday to drop the appointment of Wasatch County Sheriff Jared Rigby. Rigby’s appointment was delayed last month after state leaders became concerned about a video that seemed to show him bullying a Heber City police officer during an interview. The POST Council said they would restart the search process, while Rigby has indicated that he plans to sue the state for violating employment and hiring laws.
