Who is the better agency? Salt Lake County Sheriff or Salt Lake City Police??

I am a Deputy in San Diego looking to hopefully transfer to Salt Lake Area. Which agency is better to work for? Any pros and cons for each??Who is the better agency? Salt Lake County Sheriff or Salt Lake City Police??
1. check out the local newspapers for stories about the different police agencies, scandals, exposes, etc. The newspapers do a better job than broadcast media because they can see a story through instead of having to drop it for the next sound bite. Try blogs and websites, but Custodiet Emptor (Copper Beware). They might have their own agenda.

2. Consider the culture/lifestyle you're moving to. Are you LDS? Would you be able to fit in, though you don't really fit in? Would your family be happy there?

3. Consider 5, 10 years down the line. Promotion opportunities? Career/training enhancement opportunities, like schooling, seminars, workshops, even paid for college courses

4.Reputation for mentoring, networking, old boys, nepotism, politics -- good or bad or the same old same old?

5. Courthouse atmosphere -- aggressive prosecutors, tough judges, liberal/laid-back or hang-'em-all attitude , interagency rivalries,lazy city/county attorneys

6. Most important. Can you live without coffee?Who is the better agency? Salt Lake County Sheriff or Salt Lake City Police??
I've never worked in that area but from my experience and other officer's I know sometimes it's better to work for a county agency rather than the city agency. If it's possible see if you can look at what kind of contracts each one holds with their associations, pay scale, and if either one has a high turn over rate (usually a bad sign).
