UTAH — The Utah Sheriffs Association announced they are launching a Utah license plate to support programs that strengthen public safety and community-focused initiatives across the state.

According to the association, contributions raised through this specialty license plate program will be used to support:

Advanced training for sheriffs and deputies to ensure Utah’s law enforcement leaders have the skills and resources needed to respond to evolving public safety challenges.
Leadership development programs that prepare the next generation of sheriff’s office leaders and strengthen collaboration among law enforcement agencies statewide.
Scholarships and educational opportunities that support students pursuing careers in public service, law enforcement, and community leadership.
Community outreach and public education programs that build stronger relationships between sheriffs’ offices and the communities they serve.
Statewide coordination and professional development through the Utah Sheriffs Association, helping sheriffs share best practices, improve operations, and strengthen public safety throughout Utah.

Before plates can be produced and distributed, Utah law requires a minimum of 500 completed preorder applications. Once this threshold is reached and all requirements are satisfied, the Utah DMV can begin the process of issuing the Utah Sheriffs Association plate.
