Idaho State Police Recognizes National Forensic Science Week and Emphasizes the Vital Role Forensic Science Plays in Supporting Justice
MERIDIAN, Idaho - In honor of National Forensic Science Week, Idaho State Police (ISP) and Idaho law enforcement agencies celebrate the contributions of forensic science in the pursuit of truth and justice. This annual event, held from September 17 - 23, 2023, aims to highlight the critical importance of scientific and technical professionalism.
Forensic science plays a pivotal role in our criminal justice system by providing essential tools and methodologies to analyze evidence, exonerating the innocent, identifying suspects, and presenting compelling cases in the court of law. With three laboratories across the state in Coeur d'Alene, Meridian, and Pocatello, the ISP laboratory system provides services in biology/DNA, chemistry, trace evidence, toxicology, firearms and tool marks, latent prints, documents, and digital evidence. Scientists help with crime scene processing, evidence examination, firearms analysis, latent print processing and comparison, impression evidence collection and comparison, trace evidence examination, and digital evidence.
ISP recognizes the dedicated and talented men and women in the Forensic Services unit, composed of 70 civilian personnel, who support law enforcement investigations through analytical work and objective testimony. They also engage with community members and organizations to educate, provide demonstrations, and give lectures.
"National Forensic Science Week recognizes the impact of forensic science on daily law enforcement operations," said ISP Lab Systems Director Matthew Gamette. "I witness firsthand the power of cutting-edge technologies that aid the justice system. Our dedicated forensic experts work tirelessly on accurate and reliable results, enabling law enforcement to develop strong cases and safeguard our communities."
Throughout the week, ISP will educate the public about forensic science and host a public community education presentation to highlight facets of forensic science and its contribution to public safety. The event will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 19, at Boise State University and can be viewed online at https://bit.ly/3t2y2L5 (Meeting ID: 953 4450 5875 // Passcode: 971826). Boise Police Department's Violent Crimes Detective Paul Jagosh will present the Joyce Casper investigation, emphasizing science's importance in solving crimes. During the event, the Rick Groff Visionary Leadership in Forensic Science Award, the Forensic Science Teacher of the Year Award, and other industry awards will be announced in recognition of outstanding leadership.
Take a virtual lab tour to meet the people and see the science behind our labs. Watch the methodical way evidence is received, safely stored, and tracked. Learn about the science behind blood and breath alcohol testing. See how controlled substances are confirmed by watching experts process and analyze fingerprints. Take a look into the world of DNA analysis, from extraction to identification. YouTube: https://bit.ly/3eVzQif

The driver of the Ford Explorer, Emerson Martin Garcia Calderon, 19 years-old, of Idaho Falls was arrested on a warrant for Felony Vehicle Manslaughter.
At the time of the crash his BAC was .21. The legal limit for a driver under the age of 21 is .02. A warrant was issued for his arrest after the completion of the crash reconstruction and the processing of the blood alcohol results from the Idaho State Police Forensics Laboratory.

After receiving the alcohol results from the ISP Forensics Laboratory, ISP worked with the Bonneville County Prosecutor in securing the arrest warrant. With the help of the Idaho State Police Investigations Division and local law enforcement, attempts were made to locate Garcia Calderon.
Garcia Calderon was located and arrested without incident by the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office on Saturday, September 2, 2023.

2023 Labor Day Holiday Joint Impaired Driving Enforcement Initiative

2023 Labor Day Holiday Joint Impaired Driving Enforcement Initiative
MERIDIAN, Idaho - The Idaho State Police (ISP), Montana Highway Patrol (MHP), and Washington State Patrol (WSP) are joining forces on Labor Day weekend to take a strong stance against the dangerous driving behaviors of impaired drivers. These law enforcement agencies are committed and unified to the safety of all individuals traveling along the I-90 corridor on what historically is a high-traffic weekend.
Impaired driving inflicts devastating consequences on families and diminishes the quality of life within communities across our northwest states. The core objective of this partnership is to enforce traffic laws assertively while prioritizing public safety.
"Ensuring the public's well-being is our paramount concern, particularly during peak traffic periods like the Labor Day weekend. Our dedicated law enforcement personnel, working in collaboration with the Montana Highway Patrol and the Washington State Patrol, will work tirelessly to ensure the safety of all travelers," emphasizes Colonel Kedrick Wills of the Idaho State Police. "Through heightened patrols, rigorous enforcement measures, and educational initiatives, we remain committed to creating a safe environment everyone can enjoy without fear of danger. Remember, by making responsible choices and adhering to traffic rules, we collectively contribute to safer travel."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Labor Day weekend has emerged as the deadliest holiday weekend on our nation's roadways since 2012.
In 2022, Idaho encountered 26 impaired driving-related crashes during Labor Day, and over the entire year, the tally reached a staggering 1,800 crashes with 110 fatalities.
"The effects of impaired driving are costly and often times deadly," said Colonel Steve Lavin Chief of the Montana Highway Patrol. "Our families and our friends are all counting on us to make it home safe at the end of this Labor Day Holiday. Let us not let them down as we enjoy the last part of summer traveling across our great states."
In 2022, Montana had 12 impaired driving-related crashes during the Labor Day weekend, and MHP investigated 1,419 impaired driving-related crashes in 2022 which resulted in 101 fatalities.
WSP troopers investigated 49 impaired driving collisions throughout Labor Day weekend last year. For all of 2022, troopers investigated 2,900 impaired driving collisions, 117 of which tragically resulted in fatalities.
"There are absolutely no excuses for anyone to get behind the wheel impaired," said WSP Chief John R. Batiste. "Those decisions can only lead to tragic results that at the end of the day could have been prevented by making better choices, which is exactly what we are asking folks to do as they travel across our beautiful states during this final summer holiday."
These fatalities are not only tragic losses but are also entirely preventable.
Driving under the influence of drugs has recently emerged as a critical concern for highway safety. Operating a vehicle while impaired by any substance, whether alcohol or drugs - regardless of their legal status - is against the law in every state. Troopers are trained to observe drivers' conduct and identify impairment caused by substances other than, or in addition to, alcohol.
The ISP, MHP, and WSP strongly urge all individuals to plan ahead, especially when celebrating holidays, and never drive impaired. As the summer travel season ends, our shared objective remains to achieve zero deaths from impaired driving during the Labor Day weekend.

Update Fatal Crash on Eastbound I-84 in Boise
[UPDATED RELEASE, 08/28/2023 4:20 p.m.]
At this time, investigating troopers believe the fatal collision occurred after a Nissan Sentra stopped behind a Freightliner box truck because of a prior collision. A flatbed truck pulling a trailer struck the Nissan from behind and pushed it into the Freightliner. The impact moved the Nissan into another lane of travel where it was struck by a Peterbilt semi-truck.
The Nissan was driven by 36 year-old female driver from Tacoma, WA, and occupied by a 64 year-old male passenger from Tacoma, WA, and a female passenger in her 50's. The female passenger succumbed to her injuries on scene. The driver sustained serious injuries and remains hospitalized. The male was transported to the hospital, treated, and released.
All involved vehicles remained at the scene.
The driver of the Peterbilt was a 21 year-old male from Ontario, OR, and the driver of the flatbed truck pulling a trailer was a 54 year-old male from Nampa, ID. A GMC Yukon driven by a 44 year-old male was also damaged in the collision and its passengers sustained minor injuries but were not transported to the hospital.
The Ada County Coroner's Office took custody of the deceased. They will establish identity of the deceased as well as determine cause and manner of death.

Update Fatal Crash on Eastbound I-84 in Boise
[UPDATED RELEASE, 08/28/2023 4:20 p.m.]
At this time, investigating troopers believe the fatal collision occurred after a Nissan Sentra stopped behind a Freightliner box truck because of a prior collision. A flatbed truck pulling a trailer struck the Nissan from behind and pushed it into the Freightliner. The impact moved the Nissan into another lane of travel where it was struck by a Peterbilt semi-truck.
The Nissan was driven by 36 year-old female driver from Tacoma, WA, and occupied by a 64 year-old male passenger from Tacoma, WA, and a female passenger in her 50's. The female passenger succumbed to her injuries on scene. The driver sustained serious injuries and remains hospitalized. The male was transported to the hospital, treated, and released.
All involved vehicles remained at the scene.
The driver of the Peterbilt was a 21 year-old male from Ontario, OR, and the driver of the flatbed truck pulling a trailer was a 54 year-old male from Nampa, ID. A GMC Yukon driven by a 44 year-old male was also damaged in the collision and its passengers sustained minor injuries but were not transported to the hospital.
The Ada County Coroner's Office took custody of the deceased. They will establish identity of the deceased as well as determine cause and manner of death.
The crash remains under investigation by the Idaho State Police.
