On this episode of KSL's beyond the badge, we honor Chief Tracy Wyant of the Taylorsville Police Department. When an armed bank robbery happened, they fled at a high rate of speed and smashed into a car. The driver was unable to care for her dog that was in the care at the time of the accident, so Chief Wyant cared for the dog until the driver had recovered. He not only helped a woman escape her car after a terrible car accident, but returned for her dog and helped nurse him back to health.
