Under the
direction of a Lieutenant, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office coordinates the Utah County Sex Crimes Task force. Their mission is “to serve and protect victims of physical and sexual abuse.
We strive to restore dignity to victims while bringing their offenders to justice. The goal of the Utah County Sex Crimes
Task Force is to minimize or prevent further trauma to victims of sexual assault or child physical abuse and to increase the
number of successful prosecutions for these types of crimes. A multi-disciplinary team approach will enhance the investigation
and minimize further or unnecessary contact with victims of these crimes. The Utah County Sex Crimes Task Force and Utah County
Sheriff's Office is responsible for registering all sex offenders not under the supervision of Adult Probation and Parole
and will actively pursue those offenders not complying with the requirements of State Statute and condition of the State of
Utah Sex Offender Registry.”
