Utah legislative committee holds watered-down bill addressing controversial no-knock warrants
The bill’s sponsor and law enforcement groups remained at an ‘impasse’ over a provision prohibiting no-knock warrants when their aim is to preserve evidence.

A Utah lawmaker is currently running a bill to rein in the use of no-knock warrants in the state. | Updated: Feb. 18, 2021, 1:29 a.m.

WOODS CROSS As anyone with a loved one on the autism spectrum will tell you, it is difficult to predict how they will respond to a stranger. When that stranger is a law enforcement officer, the concern an interaction can go badly is even greater.
As a result, many police departments across the country are requiring additional training for officers on how best to respond to those on the spectrum. That s not the case in Utah.
Utah law enforcement officers have access to specialized Crisis Intervention Team training to learn how to help people with mental illness who are experiencing crisis, although few departments require it. While that training also applies to autism, a previous KSL Investigation found only 51% of officers in the five largest counties have ever received CIT training, leaving a vulnerable population at risk.
