Today on the program, Jason is joined by Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown and Deputy Chief Josh Scharman for a discussion about the multi-agency, multi-faceted “Operation Diversion,” an experimental new approach to crime and drug use in the city’s Rio Grande neighborhood that offers treatment to addicts and jail time to dealers.
Hosted by Jason Mathis from the Downtown Alliance, ‘Downtown SLC’ was a half hour, weekly show that discussed the people, the places and the events shaping Utah’s urban center. It ran from 2013 to 2017. Produced by KCPW Studios
