🚨 CLARIFICATION POST 🚨

We are aware of the viral videos circulating online regarding YouTube personality "Reckless Ben" and a Lego resale dispute. Because our department has received numerous inquiries, we want to officially clarify that the Salem UTAH Police Department has zero involvement in this matter.

The Facts: The recent law enforcement actions seen in the videos occurred in a neighboring jurisdiction and were NOT handled by the Salem Utah Police Department. Furthermore, the business dispute involved in the story originated in Salem, Oregon—not Salem, Utah.

We kindly ask that any questions or comments regarding this ongoing situation be directed to the appropriate agency. Thank you for helping us keep our lines clear for local emergencies!

This adorable black and white puppy wearing a pink collar was found today at Salem Pond

She was out enjoying the sights and smells, and probably ignoring all the “come here” commands like a true professional.

If this little escape artist belongs to you she has been transported to the South Valley Animal Shelter in Spanish Fork where she will be safe.

You can call dispatch at (801) 798-5600 to speak with a Salem Officer on how to collect your escapee🐶

As we kick off National Police Week 2026, we want to extend a huge thank you to the dedicated men and women of the Salem Police Department. We are incredibly proud of our team’s commitment to service and the heart they put into protecting our community every single day.

What is National Police Week?
Established in 1962, this week is a time for the nation to honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers. It is a dedicated time to remember those lost in the line of duty and to show appreciation for those who continue to serve and protect our neighborhoods.
