Lt. Dennis Harris – Utah County Sheriff’s Office

Lt. Dennis Harris was involved in a January 2019 incident where an informant was mistakenly arrested and beaten. Harris offered the informant $2,000 and promised to cover medical expenses in exchange for continued cooperation, which the informant later described as ‘hush money.’ Harris was removed as task force director and reassigned within the sheriff’s office; he retired shortly thereafter. No formal disciplinary action was recorded.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
