Request an Idaho State Police Ride-Along

Thank you for your interest in riding along with the Idaho State Police. Please take note of the following that would prevent you from being qualified for a ride-along prior to filling out the form.

Do not apply if you:

    • Sick leave abuse (use of sick time in violation of applicable laws, rules and procedures);
    • Drug or alcohol use that negatively affected job performance; or
    • Committing any form of illegal harassment.
Conviction for the purposes of ISP employment means that you have pled guilty or have been found guilty, notwithstanding the form of the judgment or withheld judgment. Requests to waive any of the listed disqualifications are rarely considered and require the written approval of the ISP Director.

If none of the issues listed above apply to you please fill out the following form:
