A Message From Sheriff Kevin K. Halverson

|
Mission/Vision/Values |
|
Welcome to the Minidoka County Sheriff’s Office
web page. I hope the information we provide about our
organization will help you better understand how the Sheriff’s
Office operates. |
|
The men and women of the Minidoka County
Sheriff’s Office are highly dedicated and well-trained
professionals who are strongly committed to maintaining a safe
community. We set our priorities based upon input from the
people we serve, and therefore our first priority is the
protection of life. We strongly enforce our traffic laws and we
focus on crimes against the person, particularly violent crimes.
Because of this, individuals must take a greater responsibility
to ensure their own property is protected. We offer training and
assistance to members of our community such as businesses and
landlords to improve crime prevention on every front. |
|
The Minidoka County Sheriff’s Office deputies
are proactive in their fight against crime and strive to promote
community-oriented policing by developing effective
partnerships, identifying root causes of crime and implementing
outcome-based solutions which will reduce crime and increase
safety. Our mission is to fight crime and for that to be
effective, we need to engage the community and work together to
develop new and innovative ways to make Minidoka County one of
the safest communities in the nation. Regardless of our current
lack of resources, when the community members and the police
unite together, there is always a positive outcome. |
|
Currently drugs, and more specifically
Methamphetamine, generate the majority of crimes committed in
Minidoka County. Meth is one of the most widely abused
controlled substances in Idaho and currently is the most
personally and environmentally dangerous drug problem in our
state. The Sheriff’s Office is involved in an effort to combat
this destructive and pervasive drug along with business and
community leaders in our area. The need to educate the public
and raise awareness of this growing epidemic has never been
greater. It is important that we all stand strong against this
social blight that has the capacity to destroy so much more than
just the addict's life. |
|
We are proud of our community and the officers
who work so hard to help make Minidoka County an enjoyable and
safe place to live. Our goal is to reduce the fear of crime,
protect individual rights, and enhance the quality of life for
all the people of Minidoka County I encourage you to get
involved and be a part of our community efforts. |
