“We are thrilled to be recognized by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrator’s and win this award for our continued citizen outreach efforts,” said Brian Hyer, Public Information Officer for the Department of Public Safety. “The new media portal helps us communicate much more effectively and proactively, which helps us advance our mission to serve and protect the citizens of Utah.”
The Public Safety Media Portal is used by more than 400 approved media outlets, including news directors, reporters, and interagency monitors. These outlets disseminate information in coverage areas that include the entire state of Utah and portions of neighboring states. In addition, citizens are able to follow a public feed using Twitter, which broadcasts timely updates and alerts that affect public safety.
