Beyond The Badge

On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Deputy Justin Mortensen of Utah County. When a manhunt for a violent fugitive ended up in a car chase at 70 miles per hour while blasting through, school zones and intersections with people in crosswalks, Officer Mortensen knew it had to end. The deputy decided to crash his car into the fugitive with his car. Officer Mortensen actually broke bones. KSL's Beyond the Badge recognizes the good work that Utah's public safety officers do every day to make each of our lives better. Listen to Utah's Morning News every weekday as Amanda Dickson highlights the everyday heroes who work tirelessly to keep us safe. Officers are nominated by their respective police chiefs, sheriffs and supervisors, and the general public. Those featured are selected by a committee composed of representatives from KSL, the Department of Public Safety and Utah Local Governments Trust. KSL has also partnered with the Utah Lieutenant Governor to help execute the program. Beyond the badge is
