The Western Idaho Fair kicked off today — we have a few safety tips before you head out:

Bringing kids? Stop by the Found Kids booth near the main entrance to register them, and snap a quick photo of what they're wearing that day. Lost and found kids are one of our most common calls during the WIF, and this small step helps us reunite families faster.

It's going to be hot — hydrate often and reapply sunscreen throughout the day.

We have a dedicated team of deputies, dispatchers, and Ada County Paramedics assigned to the fairgrounds to help keep the fair safe. For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency assistance, call 208-377-6790.

Dispatcher Ryun was recently presented with a Lifesaving Coin for helping save a life.

When a caller's loved one was unresponsive and they needed to perform CPR, Ryun calmly walked them through the instructions, offering regular reassurance and reminding the caller that they were doing a great job during an incredibly stressful time.

Ryun's calm voice on the other end of the line made a difference. The patient was transported to a local hospital — and survived.

Excellent work, Ryun!

(And, as the photo demonstrates, there is really no graceful way to pose with a coin.)

🩺 We’re looking for a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join our Health Services Unit at the Ada County Jail, the largest county jail in the state!

No two days look the same and this isn’t a one-setting clinical role. Our providers will host daily clinics, respond to medical emergencies alongside nursing staff, coordinate labs and diagnostics, initiate treatment, and make timely specialty referrals.

You’ll also provide patient education, document care and treatment outcomes and collaborate with other members of the Health Services team to include mental health clinicians, nurses, and administrative staff to ensure patients receive timely, appropriate medical care.

Medical staff are never alone with patients—deputies are always present, allowing Health Services staff to focus on delivering high-quality care with confidence and peace of mind.

This position works the day shift, either four 10-hour shifts per week or five 8-hour shifts per week and includes being on-call every third week.

Last week, six members of the Ada County SWAT Team traveled to Provo, Utah, to compete in the Mountain States SWAT Training and Competition (MSSTC) — a three-day training event consisting of one day of training, one day of tactical scenarios, and one day of shooting competition and an obstacle course.

This year's MSSTC brought together SWAT teams from four states for more than 48 hours of live fire courses, non-lethal scenarios, and more. The training didn't push a specific tactic — instead, it put each team's existing tactics to the test in realistic, high pressure scenarios, giving agencies a way to measure their training effectiveness and identify what to focus on in the year ahead.

Out of 23 teams from across the region, our SWAT team took first place — a title earned against some of the most well trained and competitive units in the region.

This win is a direct reflection of the standard our SWAT team holds itself to year round. It's not just a competition result — it's proof of the training hours, leadership, and teamwork that go into being ready for the real thing every single day.

Want a job that gets you out and about and puts you at the center of a program that gives people a second chance and helps our community in the process?

Highway shoulders, the Barrister campus, Expo Idaho....you've probably seen our Sheriff's Labor Detail (SLD) crews at work, you just didn't know who was leading it.

SLD Officers supervise and transport program participants to job sites across Ada County, keeping every crew safe, accountable, and productive. No two days look the same.

This role calls for steady leadership, a CDL (or the willingness to get one), and confidence behind the wheel of a van or bus.

Congratulations, Academy #262! 🎉

Yesterday, eight graduates of Academy 262 celebrated 17 weeks of training — which covered everything from arrest and control techniques to effective communication, report writing, fi****ms and more — by taking their oath and having their badges pinned by their family and loved ones. The badge pinning ceremony is a powerful reminder that they don't wear the badge alone; they carry the support of those who love them.

Deputies Bicandi, Bennett, Blanton, Blass, Clayson, Lambeth, Parker and Villalobos will begin their careers as detention deputies at the Ada County Jail.

"Today, you graduate as deputy sheriffs," said Training Coordinator Deputy Wray Graham as he addressed the graduates. "Tomorrow, you begin the real work."

The training road doesn't end at graduation — these deputies now move into the next phase: on-the-job training.

School Resource Officers (SRO) Denney, Masters and Vail are ready to take on the 2026 school year!

They have spent the week prepping for the students’ first day back and even got to have their first day of school pictures taken!

Our SROs do a little bit of everything throughout the school year. They help keep our schools safe, respond when issues come up, work closely with school staff, and spend a lot of time getting to know students.

We are so thankful to have such a dedicated group of SROs!

We're shining a spotlight on our Unincorporated Ada County Motors team — Deputy Seibert and Deputy Matkin!

This two deputy team was created in March 2025 to bring dedicated motor patrol to unincorporated Ada County. Deputy Seibert brings years of experience to the team — he was one of our first motor deputies back in 2019, helping launch our motors program from the ground up with Eagle Police.

We know, we know — nobody loves seeing a motor deputy posted up on the side of the road. But they're out there for one reason: to keep our roads safer for everyone.

Their focus is traffic safety: work zones, state highways, and extra patrols wherever they're needed. They investigate collisions and traffic complaints, and spend time on public education, too. This team also partners regularly with local agencies for combined training and enforcement efforts.

Getting on a motorcycle isn't easy. Every motor deputy has to complete basic motor school first — a ten-day course that is widely considered one of the toughest schools in policing. Pass or you don't ride. And it doesn't stop there: motor deputies requalify every year on the same proficiency standard, plus monthly in-service training to keep their skills sharp.

Whether it's 100 degrees or 10, as long as conditions are clear, they're riding. If road conditions are unsafe, they'll (grudgingly) trade their bike for a patrol Tahoe.

It takes dedication to stay motor qualified — the training never really stops. We're proud to have Deputy Seibert and Deputy Matkin out there keeping Ada County's roads safer.

Last month, Dispatcher Lindsey received the Compassion in Action Award, an internal award given to dispatchers who lead with heart when it matters most.

On one call, Lindsey guided two parents through CPR instructions, step by step, as they tried to save their son. Through it all, Lindsey stayed calm and professional, acknowledging their unimaginable pain with gentle compassion. Tragically, he passed away.

About a week later, the same parents called again, this time for a welfare check on a family member. Lindsey answered — and recognized their voices. That second connection meant as much to them as the first: they later shared how grateful they were that she was there for both calls.

Thank you, Dispatcher Lindsey, for showing that compassion is the strength behind every 911 call.
