Laws

The Idaho State Legislature makes the Idaho Laws & Rules available on the internet as a public service. It may not be used for commercial purposes or published and repackaged for commercial sale without express written permission.

Statutory Authority

The Idaho State Police (ISP) derives its statutory authority from multiple sections of the Idaho Code. During the 2000 legislative session, code sections were amended to reflect the agency’s reorganization from the Idaho Department of Law Enforcement to the Idaho State Police.

• §67-2901 creates the Department, the position of Director, and provides authority to create any divisions or units “deemed necessary for the administration of its duties.”
• Patrol activity and associated duties are authorized by §67-2901 (c) through (h), §67-2901A, and 67-2901B.
• Investigating major crimes, drugs, racketeering, and liquor violations are mandated in Titles 18, 37, and 23.
• ISP Forensic Services’ authority specific to drug testing of juveniles resides in §63-2552A.
• Police Services provides law enforcement support through the Bureau of Criminal Identification in §67-3003.
• Maintaining Idaho’s Sex Offender Registry and Juvenile Sex Offender Registry is mandated by Idaho Code Chapters 83 and 84.
• Additional duties are defined in §19-5201 for public safety and security information systems.
• POST Council activities are authorized in §19-5101 through §19-5117.
