Operation Rio Grande is a massive multi-agency collaboration to promote public safety in the Rio Grande neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah. It consists of three phases. Phase one was rolled out on August 14, 2017.[1] Phase one was targeted enforcement of laws. Phase two is rehabilitation of offenders who were arrested in phase one. Phase three will be to find jobs for all rehabilitated offenders. Its biggest impact is on Salt Lake's homeless population, as the neighborhood has a very high density of homeless people and homeless services. The two year cost to fund the operation is estimated at US$67 million.
