Re "Utahn of the year: Police Chief Burbank" (Tribune, Dec. 25):
Bravo! I completely concur in The Tribune's choice of Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank as Utahn of the year. I have watched him calmly and quietly defuse potentially violent situations. I have applauded as he refused to turn his police force into immigration agents.
Burbank is exactly the right person to be in charge of our police force and absolutely deserving of this honor. Good for you for selecting him.
Most of all, good for him!
