SLCPD investigation into computer attack continues; please change your password

If you are receiving this email, it is because you supplied your email address to the Salt Lake City Police Department through its website, www.slcpd.com. As we continue to investigate the scope of the computer attack (Police Department Website Temporarily Offline Due to Hack), we have learned that citizen complaints regarding drug crimes in the community were also accessed. These forms included phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, other personal information, and details about suspicious activity from a variety of sources. As a precaution, SLCPD advises you to change email passwords immediately, especially if you used the same password for the SLCPD website that you use at home or work. Rest assured, SLCPD is working diligently to find a solution so it may continue its public safety partnership with citizens.
