Riverton and Herriman have filed a lawsuit against Unified Police Department, saying it has not shared assets owed to the cities as they reestablish their own police departments.
The 3rd District Court lawsuit, filed Monday, is asking for at least $300,000 for each city.
Herriman and Riverton were founding members of the Unified Police Department when it was created by an interlocal agreement in 2009. According to the suit, the cities transferred equipment and supplies to the UPD and began paying quarterly fees for police coverage.
Because the cities were members of UPD for over five years, the suit said, they are entitled to receive a proportionate share of its assets and liabilities when they withdraw.
