The primary goal of the Life Safety Committee is to alleviate any condition that may contribute unnecessarily to serious illness, injury, or death within the Davis County Correctional Facility, as well as to identify any physical, procedural, or other changes that may improve the safety and wellbeing of inmates or staff within the Davis County Correctional Facility. Committee members typically meet every other month.

Committee members:

• Bob Taylor, MD, internal medicine specialist, Tanner Clinic
• Bruce Bayley, Ph.D., CFLE, Department of Criminal Justice, Weber State University
• Jayne Taylor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
• Representative from Davis Behavioral Health
• Bob Yeaman, retired chief deputy (formerly Davis County Sheriff's Office)
  

Upon implementation in 2019, the Committee conducted a thorough review of significant incidents that occurred within the Davis County Correctional Facility over the past eight–ten years and identified alternative policies and procedures focused on the welfare and protection of all individuals in the Correctional Facility. 

The committee develops effective recommendations that reflect the realities of providing medical care to inmates, many of whom are suffering the effects of substance use disorder, the symptoms of which often mask other more serious medical and mental health conditions.
