Agencies prepare drivers for winter driving conditions throughout Idaho.

-----------------------------------
IDAHO STATE POLICE NEWS RELEASE
Police HQ
700 S. Stratford Dr.
Meridian, ID 83642
For Immediate Release: 11/20/2023 2:30 p.m.
Agencies prepare drivers for winter driving conditions throughout Idaho.
MERIDIAN, Idaho - As winter approaches with its inevitable challenges, it's paramount that drivers prepare themselves to navigate tricky road conditions and minimize unnecessary risks during inclement weather. In a united effort, nearly 50 law enforcement and public safety agencies across Idaho are launching a Winter Driving safety campaign to educate the public about winter driving and snowplow safety. Additionally, statewide emphasis patrols will look for seat belt and impaired driving violations.
Idaho State Police Director Kedrick Wills emphasizes the significance of a collaborative effort, "Every action behind the wheel carries the weight of responsibility that we all share. As law enforcement professionals, we urge every driver to navigate winter roads carefully, respect the conditions, and never drive impaired. Winter driving demands heightened vigilance, so every journey ends with a safe return home."
The Office of Highway Safety (OHS) pledged increased funding to support local law enforcement in enforcing seat belt violations. Disturbing collision data between 2015 and 2019 revealed that over half of the vehicle occupants killed in Idaho were not restrained, and 1,207 unrestrained individuals suffered critical injuries. While seat belt usage has improved, more than one in ten Idahoans neglect to buckle up. In 2019, 72% of those killed in single-vehicle fatal crashes were not wearing seat belts, underscoring the importance of this life-saving habit.
Josephine Middleton, Highway Safety Manager at ITD explained, "We want drivers to make plans for a sober ride home before they start drinking and remember that wearing a seatbelt is the best defense in a crash. Police are there to protect us from dangerous drivers, but our roads are made even safer when people make good choices before getting behind the wheel."
In addition to seat belt enforcement, extra patrols will focus on combating impaired driving. Despite being entirely preventable, over 11,500 people lost their lives in drunk-driving incidents across the United States in 2020, equating to one death every 45 minutes. In Idaho, 92 people were killed in impaired collisions. It's essential to recognize that impairment extends to any substance that hampers the ability to drive safely - various substances slow coordination, judgment, and reaction times. While officers enforce the law, it's everyone's job to prevent impaired driving.
Here are some critical steps to consider:
- Plan ahead - Don't drive impaired.
- Arrange for a safe and sober ride home in advance.
- Seek an alternative mode of transportation if you consume any impairing substances.
- If someone is impaired, do not allow them to take the wheel.
- Always wear a seat belt, as it is your primary defense against impaired drivers.
As winter weather is unpredictable and treacherous, drivers should prepare for adverse conditions. Statewide, more than 16,000 accidents occurred during inclement weather between October 1, 2021, and April 30, 2022, with many attributed to unsafe driving in snow, ice, and wet conditions.
When traveling, let others know your plans - especially if driving through areas without cell service - and check in on arrival. Make safe winter driving a habit:
- Adjust your driving to handle changing conditions:
- Reduce your speed and drive at a safe pace.
- Avoid driving into a storm; find a safe place off the road and wait.
- Stay in your vehicle until visibility improves, even if an accident occurs.
- Increase your following distance.
- Exercise caution around stopped or slow-moving vehicles.
- Only pass or change lanes when necessary.
Prepare your vehicle:
- Ensure you have a full tank of gas and windshield washer fluid.
- Equip your vehicle with all-season or studded snow tires.
- Carry chains, a tow rope, cat litter, or cardboard for emergency traction.
- Have a blanket, warm clothing, shovel, jumper cables, and a windshield scraper on hand.
- Prepare a first aid kit with a knife, flashlight with extra batteries, non-perishable food, bottled water, and cell phone charger.
Avoid distractions:
- Stay focused on the road and remain vigilant for potential road hazards like animals and trees.
- Take necessary breaks to combat fatigue.
- Be mindful of hidden dangers like icy overpasses and bridges, open ground blizzards, hills, stoplights, signs, and ruts that may collect water.
Every year, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) deploys over 550 snowplow operators to clear over 3.4 million miles throughout Idaho. Ensure their safety:
Give snowplows ample space to work:
- The best roadway is a safe distance behind a working plow.
- Never pass on the right.
Know before you go:
- Check the weather forecast before embarking on your journey.
- Stay informed about Idaho Department of Transportation (IDT) winter road conditions at 511.idaho.gov and monitor National Weather Service updates at www.weather.gov.

Meridian, ID 83642
For Immediate Release: 11/15/2023 3:15 p.m.
The Idaho State Police Domestic Highway Enforcement Team Completes Enforcement Operation in North Idaho
MERIDIAN, Idaho - As part of Governor Little's Esto Perpetua, the ISP Domestic Highway Enforcement (DHE) Team recently performed an enforcement operation in North Idaho to interdict illegal narcotics being transported through Idaho. DHE is comprised of 14 members, including seven canine handlers, spread throughout the state using the latest intervention techniques to combat emerging criminal trends.
In this operation, the DHE Team partnered with ISP's District 1 Investigative Unit, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Rathdrum Police Department, Probation and Parole from the Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC), and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for the following:
- Contacts/Traffic Stops: 99
- Misdemeanor Drug Charges: 50
- Drug Cases: 21
- Felony Drug Charges: 14
- Methamphetamine Cases: 8
- Trafficking or Delivery Cases: 5
- Fentanyl Cases: 4
- Felony Endangerment to Child Charges: 2
- Provided or Possessed False Identity Charges: 2
- Warrant Arrests: 2
- Open Container of Alcohol Charges: 2
- Felony charge for Failing to Register as a Sex Offender: 1
Several notable incidents:
- 1.4 pounds of methamphetamine seized.
- 300 fentanyl pills and a small amount of methamphetamine discovered.
- Nearly 2 ounces of methamphetamine hidden within the vehicle.
- Multiple baggies of methamphetamine intended for sale seized in Shoshone County.
- During one traffic stop, two young children were taken into protective custody when their parents were found to possess a large amount of fentanyl. The children hadn't eaten in 24 hours and were sitting amongst illegal drugs inside the vehicle. DHE worked with Child Protective Services to get care for the children.
The DHE Team is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force that identifies, disrupts, and dismantles local, multi-state, and international drug trafficking organizations using an intelligence-driven, multi-agency, prosecutor-supported approach. The Team is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program, also composed of members from the Idaho State Police, which is an Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multi-agency drug enforcement initiatives.
ISP is extremely proud of the collaborative efforts with outstanding agencies for this enforcement operation. The emphasis on illegal substance interdiction is essential for enhancing public health, ensuring community safety, protecting youth, and mitigating drug-related crimes. By disrupting the networking fueled by drug trafficking and illicit practices, law enforcement plays a pivotal role in fostering a more secure and stable society. ISP is dedicated to establishing an environment free of illicit activity and harmful practices, ensuring the creation of safe and protected communities.

LEWISTON, Idaho - Detectives with the District Two Officer-Involved Critical Incident Task Force (CITF) are investigating a non-fatal officer-involved shooting (OIS) that occurred after a traffic stop in Lewiston.
Just before 2 a.m. this morning, a Lewiston Police officer attempted to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation.
