Welcome to the Idaho State Police
The Idaho State Police is proud to provide law enforcement services to citizens of the State of Idaho since 1919.
Today, the Idaho State Police consists of Patrol, Investigations, Commercial Vehicle Safety, Alcohol Beverage Control, Regional Communications Centers, Forensic Services, Brand Inspector, Bureau of Criminal Identification including the Idaho State Sex Offender Repository, and the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) as a division of ISP with oversight by the POST Council. more...
Statutory Authority
The Department derives its statutory authority from multiple sections of Idaho Code. During the legislative session of 2000, those code sections were amended to reflect the agency's reorganization from the Idaho Department of Law Enforcement to the Idaho State Police. Idaho Code §67-2901 creates the Department and the position of Director, and provides for any divisions and units "deemed necessary for the administration of its duties." more...
ALERT: Telephone Scammers Impersonating Idaho State Police
The Idaho State Police has received multiple reports from within Idaho, as well as other states, of someone claiming to work for the Idaho State Police. The caller is demanding money in return for an arrest warrant being cleared and if refused threatens to send local police to arrest them.
The people making these phone calls are NOT from the Idaho State Police and are scam artists. It appears that the scammers are targeting students, professors, foreign nationals, and in the past week, even kids in the junior high age range.
The number appearing on the caller ID will show up as an actual number from the Idaho State Police, however the number appearing has been spoofed, meaning the calling party is deliberately falsifying the telephone number and/or name relayed as the Caller ID information to disguise their identity.
The Idaho State Police reminds the public that we will not call anybody on the telephone to inform them that a warrant has been issued for their arrest. Additionally, ISP does not collect money or financial information over the phone for any reason.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be the Idaho State Police, any other law enforcement or any government employee and they are asking for money, please do not send any money or provide any personal or financial information over the telephone. The best course of action is to simply hang up on the caller. Parents are asked to let their children with phones know that they too could receive such a call. The ISP also reminds citizens to protect your private information as much as possible. On many of these calls the caller uses the receivers actual name.
If you want to report that you have been a victim and have sent money or provided financial information, please call the Idaho State Police at 208-846-7550. If you simply want to fill out a complaint form to help law enforcement track these types of scams, please visit the Federal Trade Commission website at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov.
A Message From Colonel Ralph Powell
The Idaho State Police is a dynamic force in the mix of entities that provide public safety services to Idaho's citizens and visitors. While you may be familiar with the sight of the "black and whites" patrolling the interstate, there is much more to ISP's ability to protect your property and person.
ISP's Investigations program conducts major criminal investigations with an emphasis on drug, racketeering, and computer crimes. Many cases are prosecuted in both state and federal courts, reaching throughout the United States and across international borders into Mexico and Canada.
Forensic Services provides direct support to Idaho's criminal justice community through crime scene evidence collection and analysis. Laboratories located in Coeur d'Alene, Meridian and Pocatello analyze evidence for every law enforcement agency in the state - in fact, annually, up to 85% of the labs' caseloads are generated by local or federal agency investigations.
Partnerships remain ISP's greatest tool for savings, efficiency, effectiveness, and delivery of excellent law enforcement services.
ISP is not only a law enforcement agency, but an entity of state government. Therefore, a most important partnership is with the Governor's Office and the Idaho legislature.
As an executive agency, ISP carries out those gubernatorial priorities that are within its scope in law, such as emphasizing homeland security or public school safety.
Our mission is to keep you safe: at home, on the road, wherever you are. You can partner with us to achieve this goal by staying alert to your surroundings, driving responsibly, and always buckle up for safety!
