Salt Lake City Cop On Leave After Refusing To Work Gay Pride Parade

He was among 30 officers assigned to work Sunday’s gay parade according to department spokesperson Lara Jones.

“We don’t tolerate bias and bigotry in the department, and assignments are assignments … To allow personal opinion to enter into whether an officer will take a post is not something that can be tolerated in a police department,” Jones told KSL.

She declined comment on the officer’s reason for refusing the assignment.

The officer, whose name was not released, is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation.
