🚔 Sheriff's Corner – May 2026 🚔

As we move into the summer months, we're seeing an increase in door-to-door solicitors throughout Jerome County. While many are legitimate businesses, unfortunately some may be scams.

🔹 Reminder: All door-to-door solicitors operating in Jerome County are required to have a valid permit and identification. If a solicitor cannot provide proper credentials, you have every right to decline their services and contact Jerome County Dispatch at 208-324-1911.

We have also received reports of phone and text message solicitations requesting payment upfront. Before hiring anyone or providing personal information, please take the time to research the company through resources such as the Better Business Bureau, online reviews, or recommendations from trusted friends and family members.

Your vigilance helps protect both you and our community.

Jerome County Sheriff’s Office joins statewide seat belt enforcement effort through May

Jerome County, Idaho – The Jerome County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Idaho Transportation Department’s Office of Highway Safety (OHS) and law enforcement agencies across Idaho, urging drivers to buckle up. Now through May 31, Deputies are part of a statewide enforcement effort, issuing citations to those not wearing their seat belt and educating Idahoans on the importance of all drivers and passengers buckling up.

This seat belt safety effort coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Click It or Ticket campaign with law enforcement officers nationwide, as well as Memorial Day weekend – the first long weekend of the busy summer travel period.

According to OHS data, 87% of Idahoans are already making the safe choice to wear their seat belt.

“Buckling up is the easiest thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash,” said Corporal Michael Guest. “It increases your chances of surviving by 50%. Make it a habit to buckle up every time.”
