I am confident his servant leadership style and commitment to communityoriented policing will make him very effective as he leads the Riverton Police Department. His team consists of 36 sworn officers and four civilian staff.

Chief Barfuss stated the following about his appointment as chief, “It is an honor to be selected to lead the Riverton Police Department. I look forward to serving the residents of Riverton and ensuring the Riverton Police Department’s commitment to service and community continues.” n rivertonutah.gov/subscribe

Residents continue to see savings and improved service since the city left the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area back in 2018 and left Unified Police Department to create the Riverton Police Department back in 2019. In fact, since forming our own taxing district to fund police services in Riverton, our residents have saved over $10 million in property tax that would have otherwise been paid to the county taxing district, with over $4 million in savings just last year.

Riverton City officials are committed to ensuring we have the very best law enforcement we can and are thrilled Chief Barfuss has joined our team. Please join me in welcoming him to Riverton!
