The Work You Don't See
Emergencies most people never see.
Every day across Idaho, sheriffs and deputies respond to emergencies most
people never see. These situations demand training, coordination, equipment,
and preparedness long before an emergency occurs.
Through the ongoing support of Honorary Members like you, the Idaho
Sheriffs’ Association helps strengthen critical statewide efforts that protect
families across our state.

First on scene. First to
listen. First to help
recover what was taken.

A lost hiker deep in the mountains.
Coordinated Search &
Rescue across remote
terrain — often through
the night.

A wildfire moving toward homes.
Evacuation planning,
coordination, and

A Story From The Field ·
Two hikers, lost after dark.
Found shortly after midnight.
Search & Rescue teams responded to two hikers lost in Idaho’s backcountry after dark. One was injured. Both were cold and struggling to make it out safely.
Teams located the hikers shortly after midnight, provided
medical assistance and warming support, and guided
them safely to safety.
“That level of readiness does not happen by
accident.”
It requires trained personnel, specialized equipment,
statewide cooperation, and the continued support of
people who believe strong local law enforcement matters.
A Letter We Received
"For all you do… thank you."
“She responded to our 9-1-1 call. Her quick assessment
and actions saved my husband’s life. She realized he
was having a heart attack and called for an ambulance.
She stayed with us until the ambulance left. We are so
grateful.”
