   SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A 2News investigation uncovers the   
   frightening reality when it comes to the number of dangerous   
   parolees Adult Probation and Parole (AP&P) has failed to   
   properly supervise and are now fugitives.   
      
   A whistleblower told 2News:   
      
   There’s violent gang members of every street gang and there’s   
   white supremacist gang members out on the street. There’s   
   violent sex offenders out on the street. There’s gang members   
   that the Department of Corrections doesn’t even have categorized   
   as gang members out on the street on parole. There’s the next   
   cop killer out there.”   
   Frustrated parole agents have risked their jobs to tell 2News   
   Investigative Reporter Wendy Halloran what’s really going on, as   
   well as former agents who left AP&P. They claim they lost their   
   police powers and were turned into social workers by supervisors   
   who more often than not require them to give the parolee another   
   chance, instead of writing a warrant and sending it to the Board   
   of Pardons and Parole in an effort to send them back to prison.   
      
   The whistleblower said:   
      
   I don’t want my name out there as that guy who let someone get   
   killed or get victimized.”   
   Monday, May 3 at 10 p.m. on KUTV 2News: What they want all   
   Utahns to know.   
      
   You will learn how one such fugitive allegedly killed a teenage   
   boy last June and hear from his uncle who wants accountability   
   for his nephew’s death.   
      
   You will hear from Adult Probation and Parole Division Director   
   Dan Blanchard as he responds to the criticisms.   
      
   The whistleblower said:   
      
   I’m absolutely worried about the public’s safety and law   
   enforcement especially because the law enforcement officers on   
   the street are the ones who come in contact with these guys, it   
   isn’t AP&P . When was the last time an AP&P agent got shot? You   
   know ,it just doesn’t happen. These guys are unpredictable and   
   look how easy they can get their hands on a gun. It’s not   
   working and that’s what I would tell the public, you should be   
   very concerned. Don’t leave your doors unlocked on your car.   
   Don’t leave your doors unlocked on your house because if your   
   car gets stolen it’s probably a probationer or a parolee who’s   
   behind it.”
