Utah Narcotic Officers Association salutes the contributions of all its members, past and present, in keeping our Utah communities protected from the scourge of illicit drug importation and distribution.  In 2021, the UNOA Board created a special designation and place on its website to recognize the significant contributions of those now deceased who provided exemplary service to the citizens of Utah during their narcotic enforcement careers.

Recipients of this UNOA Legends of Law Enforcement Award can be found below.  Click on their picture to link to a full description of each Legend’s contribution and outstanding service.

At each annual training conference during the awards banquet, a commemorative table is set to remember those Fallen Comrades who we have lost. That honored setting is depicted by the picture at the left.  Click on that picture to link to the tribute which is read before the start of each awards banquet.
