Officer Chad Leetham, South Salt Lake

On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Resource Officer at Granite Park Jr High Chad Leetham. Granite Park Jr High has a huge population of refugee students. About 600 kids with about 62 countries and 41 different languages. They run a food pantry and help the refugee students who may not be able to get food. So the pantry donates food to these students during the weekends. Officer Leetham working two jobs still finds time to help all these kids. 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 sponsored by the Utah Local Government's Trust. Protecting those who protect you.
