Meet Kenny Rose
Kenny Rose—Born and raised in Pleasant Grove. I moved to Lehi just prior to getting married in 1998. I have 4 children, ages 11, 9, 4, and 2. I will be graduating from UVU in April with a Bachelor’s in Emergency Services Management and plan on continuing my education with a Masters in Public Administration. I have been with Lehi PD since 1999 and worked for the Utah Department of Corrections for 2 years prior to coming to Lehi PD. I have worked on a lot of different types of cases, including time with the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force as well the Sex Crimes Task Force. I am currently assigned to the Patrol Division as a Patrol Sergeant. I joined SMART because of our involvement in it prior to my involvement. I had been pushing for things such as the Prescription Drop-Off Box prior to even knowing that SMART was involved in the same goals. I have had some personal experiences in my life that lend to my interest in seeing SMART be successful in that I have had a close family member pass away due to a narcotic overdose. I thoroughly enjoy camping with my family as much as my schedule will allow. I enjoy hunting and fly-fishing and all sports. I love the Utah Jazz and am a loyal Chicago Cubs and Dallas Cowboys fan. While I do miss a good number of meetings due to patrol schedule conflicts it certainly isn’t because of disinterest in the mission of the organization. I do want SMART to continue to reach out to the community and I want to be a part of that in whatever way that I can and am able to.
