Deputies with the Ada County Sheriffs Office and officers with the Meridian Police Department that I know are all happy with their agencies currently.
Wasn't the case for Ada County with the prior Sheriff but the current one seems good to go. The problem you'll face with smaller agencies outside the cities will be the lack of pay/benefits. |

Don't let one mistake define the entire force. Not saying what they did was right or wrong, because I don't know the details. But thanks nonetheless for the insight. |

That's what happened with our dept. Except the opposite in getting a new sheriff. |

It was wrong. It happened all over the US by many police departments. |

Covid crazyness shutdown everything. Lady was at an empty park letting her child play, literally nobody around. Dick head cop decides this lady and child are in a closed park and have to leave for their own health. Lady said NO and then idiot cop decides to take it to epic shit show levels because she ain't respecting his authority, cop also gets butt hurt when protesters show up to his residence to voice their displeasure with his actions. I could be slightly wrong on minor details but either way nearly everybody agrees the cop was a bitch ass punk |

Ada County Sheriff’s Office is probably the best agency here in southern Idaho and also the biggest in the whole state. @Matt58

I will agree with @DillyDilly on this one! Ask away, I will answer what I can! We are the law enforcement agency of choice for all criminal justice services! P.S. We hire about .8-1% of our applicants… ETA: feel free to PM me if you wanna get down and dirty on the details! |

I know ISP and IDOC officers and have spoken with Nampa PD.
ISP guys seem to love their job, Nampa PD seemed like they liked it as well, stay the fuck away from IDOC. Really that's all I have to offer is don't go IDOC no matter what :P |

I will also echo ACSO is the best in the state. In my dealings with their road deputies, they have always been really good folks. Their detention deputies I’ve known have been a 50/50 mix of good guy vs. shithead.
The ISP folks I’ve known were decent. A few I dealt with really thought the shit didn’t stink, but thats a highway cop for you. They always “think” they’re the best. Boise PD have decent street guys but their leadership sucks ass. Quite a few of them are out of state lateral hires and some of them act like they’re still working out of whatever hoodrat department they came from. The small town PD’s are a mixed bag. The saying, “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.” is true with what I’ve seen. All in all LE from what I’ve seen isn’t too bad here. I know, respect and understand they have a hard job, but it is still Idaho. |

We had calls of people reporting "non essential" businesses operating. All of my calls were unfounded. |

Really that's all I have to offer is don't go IDOC no matter what :P Just to clarify, what does IDOC stand for? ISP was on the radar. At least they're police and not troopers like here in WI. Not sure if that makes a difference in duties out in ID though. I'll check Nampa. Thanks. |

IDOC = Idaho Department of Corrections
DO NOT work for them While ISP has “police” in their name, they mainly run the highways and interstates in the larger cities/towns. In the smaller areas (most of Idaho) they are the back-up to the smaller Sheriff and Police agencies. They’ve got some good dudes but in typical trooper fashion, they will write another LEO (off-duty) for going 3 over the speed limit. In our AO, they take all the crashes on the interstate unless it’s an absolute mess (like really bad snow storm or ice), then we all get to take some. I will respond to your PM in the morning; gotta hit the rack! |

Same rule applies. Sounds good, thank you again |

Sorry broski! I figured you'd find your way into this thread eventually so I sped up that process.  I'll add to this convo: prior to to my close interactions with ACSO, I had a somewhat of a negative opinion of our area's LEO i.e. Caldwell, Meridian, and Boise. Still maintain that mindset about those specifically but not LEO in general. A ton of honest, hard working professionals work for ACSO and it helps when their leader is a publicly elected , not appointed. |

Quote HistoryNope. If you're looking at N Idaho, go with CDAPD. Better employee representation, and city wages always beat out county wages. Or be like all the other N Idaho cops and go work for Spokane City or Spokane County. They have hiring bonuses in the neighborhood of $25/k. Work in a dump, but come home and live/play in Idaho. |

Here in Ada Co, only Boise pays more than ACSO. |
