SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has ordered all state agencies to review security plans after an intruder entered a government building through an unsecured door, stealing security badges and accessing secure areas.
It is yet unknown whether any sensitive information was taken Friday from the Heber M. Wells Building in Salt Lake City, but the Division of Facilities Construction Management is investigating how the breach of security occurred.
Many state agencies are housed in the building, including the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Commerce.
"We are aware of the incident that occurred at the Heber M. Wells building in Salt Lake City," said Cox in a statement. "We take security of state facilities very seriously. Impacted agencies are still assessing impacts from the incident.
"We are directing all agencies to undertake a security review to ensure that incidents of this nature do not occur in the future."
