As Herriman High alumni, I’ve personally witnessed Officer Scott’s initiative to connect with community members and use his authority as an officer to inspire those around him.
Thank you Officer Scott for being a true ‘Hometown Hero’!
As an avid Utah Jazz fan, Officer Scott took one for the team posing as the “Houston Rockets beer guy”. Watch the video below:
