Detective Takeuchi captured these stunning sunrise shots and has the following safety message to share:

Happy first Monday back to school! For some, happy first day back to school. As we head out for the day, expect extra traffic -- both vehicle and pedestrian. Stay alert for buses and crosswalks, and watch your speed. Drive engaged. Put your phones away -- I promise it can wait. Be safe, everyone. Let's make it a great year!

✏️School is officially back in session in Star!

We’re a few days into the 2026 school year and Star Police along with Trevor A. Chadwick, City of Star Mayor have had a fantastic time welcoming students back to Star Middle School, Star Elementary and Independence Elementary.

School Resource Officers (SROs) Takeuchi and Prather are excited to be back with students and staff for another great year. This year, they’ll also be spending time at the brand new Independence Elementary, getting to know students and helping welcome them to their new school.

Here’s to a great school year!

Do you love Star and want to help make it a better place to live, work and play? We're hiring a Community Service Officer (formerly Code Enforcement Officer) to join our team!

This isn't a desk job. You'll spend most of your time out in the community, handling county and city ordinance violations and working in all kinds of weather.

Some of your duties will include traffic control, VIN inspections, radar trailer requests, and responding to cold calls for service like thefts, vandalism, burglaries, and fraud—plus much more. And it's not all work—you'll also have opportunities to represent Star Police at community events like the Star Fishing Rodeo, Touch-a-Truck, and Trunk-or-Treat.

This position is generally Monday through Friday with five 8-hour day shifts. Benefits include medical insurance, PERSI retirement, PTO, and paid sick leave.

If this sounds like a great fit for you, we'd love to hear from you! Apply or learn more here:

From games with kids to pool parties, potlucks to playground slides, and everything in between, we had an amazing time at National Night Out in Star last night.

Thank you to everyone who planned an event and invited us to be part of their celebration. We love being part of a community where neighbors know each other, kids can be kids, and spending time together is what it’s all about.

Here is a quick snapshot of what SPD was up to in June!

These numbers reflect activity of Star Police deputies — including both calls for service they responded to and proactive activity they initiated.

Citizen calls for service are generated through calls to Ada County Dispatch. Proactive activity is deputy initiated and can include things such as traffic stops, extra patrol, follow up investigations, and other self-initiated enforcement or prevention efforts.

On July 23, 2026, at approximately 3:19 p.m., detectives and deputies with the Ada County Sheriff's Office and Star Poli...

On July 23, 2026, at approximately 3:19 p.m., detectives and deputies with the Ada County Sheriff's Office and Star Police located and arrested 29-year-old Jose Lozano Flores at Quinn's Pond in Boise. Lozano Flores was subsequently booked into the Ada County Jail on {F} Lewd Conduct with a Child Under 16, {F} Kidnapping (First Degree) and {M} Resisting and Obstructing.

This arrest stems from an incident that occurred the previous evening. Preliminary information indicates that on July 22, 2026, at approximately 9 p.m., Lozano Flores sexually assaulted a 15-year-old female at Freedom Park in Star. Lozano Flores then left the park with the victim in his vehicle. Preliminary investigation indicates Lozano Flores and the victim were not known to one another prior to this incident.

The victim was also located at Quinn’s Pond and has since been reunited with her family.

Due to the sensitive nature of this case, details are limited, and no further information will be released at this time.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is asked to contact [email protected] or non-emergency dispatch at (208) 377-6790. To remain anonymous, tips may also be submitted through the Ada County Sheriff's Office mobile app, available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play.

We would also like to thank Boise Police, Nampa Police, Meridian Police and the U.S. Marshals for their assistance in this case.

Detective Picciuto was this month's lucky Books & Badges reader! He shared Pete the Cat: Hickory Dickory Dock, where Pete and his friends play on a giant clock, and Can I Play Too?, featuring Gerald the Elephant and his best friend, Piggie.

Whether we're responding to calls or reading at the library, we're proud to be part of the Star community. Thanks for another wonderful morning at the library!
