One of the most touching moments in yesterday’s inauguration ceremonies might have easily been overlooked. After the swearing-in was over, the speeches given and the last prayer concluded, former Governor Gary Herbert signed off as the Commander and Chief of Utah’s Highway Patrol.
Listen to the emotional moment as Governor Herbert reports “10-42.”
A Trooper’s badge/car number is a source of pride and a show of seniority amongst the ranks. We are honored to provide Badge 001 to our Commander and Chief, Utah’s Governor. Listen as @GovHerbert reported “10-42” (Off-Duty) today. It has been our pleasure to serve under you, Sir! pic.twitter.com/LnbxUp3Hn4
