Leonard "Dale" Elton

I had the pleasure, respect, and trust to be honored to work alongside Dale as a member of the Salt Lake City Police Department, and am feeling the loss of a true gentleman who "had my back, as I had his." Thank you for your service, and for being my friend.

Janis, Bret& Kathy please accept our condolences on the loss...

The Eltons were my friends. We lived 2 house away my whole childhood. Dale was a good man and will be missed by all who new him. My love and prayers go out to his family. RIP Dale.
