David Beach, Director
Utah Highway Safety Office

Administration

David A. Beach was appointed as the Director of the Utah Highway Safety Office in March 2001 by Public Safety Commissioner Robert L Flowers. Dave was excited to return to his "roots" as he started his career with the Utah Department of Public Safety as an intern and eventually a program specialist with the Highway Safety Office in the late 1970s. He has also had the opportunity to serve as the Department's Director of Administrative Services and as the Director of the Driver License Division.

Dave has been involved in such organizations as the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the Utah Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association, the Salt Lake Management Society, and the American Society for Public Administration.
