SALT LAKE CITY – Gov. Spencer Cox said the Utah National Guard is available to help the Utah Highway Patrol with security at the state Capitol as officials say they are getting wind of credible threats against lawmakers and state properties.
Lt. Nick Street with the Utah Highway Patrol, which is tasked with policing the Utah state Capitol, confirmed Utah's national and local representatives have received credible threats and troopers are enhancing security efforts.
"We treat every threat as credible until we can disprove it as otherwise," Street said.
The credible threats and the possibility of protests have led to state lawmakers moving the upcoming state legislative session completely online.
