UTAH Oath Keepers
We Believe in Honoring Our Constitutional Oath!“The Utah Oath Keepers are a group of proud patriots, dedicated to upholding the constitution of the United States. Our members have a long history of service to the United States as military, law enforcement and first responder professionals, and continue to serve through Oath Keepers programs and service missions.”
Our Story
Utah Oath Keepers is a non-political, constitutional service organization, composed of skilled volunteers that include current and formerly serving military, police, first responders, and trained civilians. Our mission is to provide support services to our communities in the event of natural disasters, economic stress or unrest, and unforeseen emergencies. We take pride in executing that mission with professionalism, courage and honor.
Uath Oath Keepers are committed to the protection and security of those in our local communities. We do this by educating citizens in food preparation, medical and security skills training, as well as disaster and emergency support. The Uath Oath Keepers organization supports the right of individuals to peacefully protest, however it does not participate in illegal or violent actions. We believe that our constitutional oath is paramount, and as such we will not obey, support or execute unconstitutional orders … or those executing those orders.
Uath Oath Keepers is not a militia, although we support the right of others who are so inclined. Each member has pledged an oath to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”, and that oath is central to our organization. The oath, mandated by Article VI of the Constitution, is to the people of the United States … not to politicians or organizations. We hold the Constitution to be the supreme law of the land and we support the rule of law. We welcome those who are like-minded to join our ranks.
Uath Oath Keepers welcomes current serving and veteran military, police and first responders to join our members, and invite patriotic civilians to serve. We strive to honor those who have served through our actions and deeds. We hold ourselves to a higher standard, with our motto being “Not on our watch!“
Natural Disasters
Earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, wind storms, floods. When these event happen, we will support those in need through medical, search and rescue, and emotional support.
Oath Keepers have provided support and security in almost every disaster that has occurred in the US and territories in the last 10 years.
Civil Unrest
We must be able communicate freely regarding our political, religious and cultural beliefs, without fear of retribution and violence.
In this unstable political climate, we believe that the constitution is critical to allowing citizens to protect themselves and their families from those who aim to remove your freedoms and harm our way of life.
Community Education
We are available to provide service to our community through teaching neighbors how to prepare for almost any emergency.
We have trainers available to instruct on food storage, medical skills, shelter, neighbohood watch and neighborhood watch/security programs. We do instruct on basic firearm safety, if required, but will refer those interested in focused training to qualified instruction.
CERT Trained
To ensure the highest level of certification, we encourage our members to become CERT Qualified.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

Communications
One of the most critical aspects of dealing with an emergency, is being able to communicate effectively with your volunteers, government agencies, and outside services. Unfortunately standard communications often are damaged during emergencies and unable to function.
Oath Keepers maintains a cadre of skilled communications professionals, who use Short and long range radios to establish communication networks with local and domestic services. We require our communications specialists to be HAM radio licensed at a technicians level as a minimum.
Community Protection Team
The CPT is a critical part of our Constitutional mission and provides security, upon request, during natural disasters, economic stress and unrest.
This team is made up of military and Law Enforcement veterans, and skilled civilians who rescue, support and protect those who are in need.
This team has distinguished themselves by protecting emergency personnel during such emergencies as Katrina, Houston, Panama City, Miami and Peutro Rico , where criminals attacked those escaping the damage. CPT members also protected persons, communities and businesses during the Micheal Brown Riots, Ferguson, and UC Davis.
Community Support & education
Many of us can recall recent events in which the lack of preparation from persons and civil leaders have caused distress for members of the communities. We feel strongly that everyone should be prepared for local emergencies such as fires, floods, earthquakes and even civil unrest.
Utah Oath Keepers have a strong history of providing support and skills training for local communities in order to be better prepared. We have served in the past in situations such as Hurricane Katrina and the Houston floods, emergencies in Panama City, Miami, Puerto Rico, and the Michael Brown situation, as well as UC Davis – Sacramento.
Available training can include emergency medical, ham radio communications, food storage and preparation and community watch programs.
