Despite hours of medical training, two white officers with the Salt Lake City Police Department stood over a Black stabbing victim for approximately eight minutes, choosing not to give first aid.
Even the stabber pleaded for her boyfriend to receive help.
According to SLCPD, the reason the response took approximately 27 minutes was because there weren’t any officers available to respond for 20 minutes.“Do you know what happened at all, Ryan?” Officer Brown asked.The officers likely did not yet know his girlfriend, Fernanda Tobar, was the stabber.“You’re not doing anything about it!” Tobar yelled.The officers took turns asking Tobar questions as the second officer stood over the victim, asking questions and giving commands but never touching him.
Rather than answering questions, Chief Brown chose to attend various events including the Pioneer Day parade.“The women and men of the Salt Lake City Police Department are guardians of our community. They are committed to preserving life,” he wrote in part. “We understand community members may have questions about how our officers responded to assist Mr. Outlaw. As a police department, we stand-by the decisions of our officers... The officers could not allow the elevator doors to close.
According to Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training , all officers go through four hours of basic first aid and CPR training, plus an eight-hour critical tactical care class designed to help trauma patients.Garcia did not give an opinion on the SLCPD case but said he is proud of the training his agency gives to officers throughout the state.
“The priority of policing is the protection of life. After the fact is solving the crime,” Burbank said. “Everything else is secondary to the well-being of that person. That is so obviously your priority when you walk into that situation that it hurts to watch.”
