Alternate Route

Due to the obstruction on 2900 N at Cottonwood, we suggest using an alternate route until the lanes of travel reopen.

September 12, 2001.

Yesterday, our nation remembered the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken on September 11, 2001. We remembered the firefighters, law enforcement officers, first responders, military members, and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger. We remembered families who said goodbye that morning without knowing it would be for the last time.

But today, September 12, is worth remembering too.

On September 12, 2001, Americans woke up grieving, angry, afraid, and uncertain about what came next. Yet in the midst of that pain, something remarkable happened.

We came together.

We checked on our neighbors. We flew our flags. We stood in long lines to donate blood. We prayed together. Strangers helped strangers. First responders were thanked instead of taken for granted. Differences that had seemed so important only days earlier suddenly didn't seem quite as important.

For a time, we were simply Americans.

Perhaps one of the greatest ways we can honor those we lost on 9/11 is to remember who we became on 9/12.

Twenty-five years later, we can still choose kindness over anger, service over selfishness, respect over division, and unity over the things that separate us.

Yesterday, we remembered the lives that were lost.

Today, let's remember the way we lived afterward.

May we never forget September 11.

And may we never forget the spirit of September 12.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We serve.

Best of Luck, Deputy Codding!

Today was Deputy Codding’s last day with the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office as he and his family prepare for a new adventure in the Treasure Valley.

Ben has served our office and the citizens of Twin Falls County well, and while we hate to see a good deputy leave, we’re excited for him as he begins the next chapter of his career with the Ada County Sheriff’s Office.

Ben, thank you for your service, your friendship, the laughs, and for being someone we could always count on. We wish you and your family nothing but happiness and success as you make the move west.

Ada County, you got one of the good ones! Take care of him for us. It’s been a privilege having you as part of the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office family. We’re going to miss you around here, and we hope you have a long, safe, successful, and fulfilling career with Ada County.

Good luck, brother.

Once part of the family, always part of the family.

The Best Kind of Ending

There are few calls that bring a greater sense of urgency than the report of a missing child.

Earlier today, deputies responded to the west end of Twin Falls County to assist one of our partner agencies after a 3-year-old little boy wandered away from his home.

Deputies immediately joined the search, and the Twin Falls County Search & Rescue Team was deployed to help cover the area. When a child is missing, there’s no hesitation, everyone goes to work, and every minute matters.

Thankfully, about 30 minutes after our arrival, the little guy was found safe and sound in some tall grass apparently just busy being a 3-year-old boy and having himself an adventure.

There was an incredible sense of relief when word came across the radio that he had been found and was okay.

And apparently, after all that excitement, he decided the Sheriff looked like a pretty safe place to land. He climbed right into his arms and seemed perfectly content to hang out for a while.

We’re not sure if it was the uniform, the friendly face…or maybe it was just the cowboy hat.

Whatever the reason, we'll take this ending every single time.

We are incredibly grateful this little boy was found safe, and thankful for the deputies, Search & Rescue volunteers, our partner agency, and everyone who quickly came together to help bring him home.

Sometimes the best calls are the ones that end with a smile, a little boy in your arms, and a cowboy hat.

🔥 WILDFIRE IN THE SOUTH HILLS — PLEASE AVOID THE AREA 🔥

A wildfire believed to have been sparked by a lightning strike is currently burning in the South Hills.

The fire appears to be cresting Deadline Ridge and moving in the direction of the summer cabins along the Oakley-Rogerson Road. Fire crews are actively working to contain the fire, with small aircraft and ground crews operating in the area.

Officials with the U.S. Forest Service are urging the public to stay out of the affected area and give firefighters the room they need to work safely.

⚠️ Please do not travel into the area to watch the fire, take photographs, or check on conditions. Additional vehicles and people can interfere with firefighting operations and create unnecessary hazards for both the public and emergency personnel.

Aircraft may be flying at low elevations while firefighters and equipment are working along roads and trails.

If you have a cabin, livestock, family members, or other interests in the area, continue to monitor information from the U.S. Forest Service and local emergency officials for changing conditions or evacuation information.

🔥 Conditions can change quickly. Please give firefighters plenty of room and stay clear of the South Hills fire area until officials advise otherwise.

We will share additional information as it becomes available.

Enjoy the fair. Enjoy the b**r garden. Just don’t drive impaired.

The Twin Falls County Fair is a great time to get together with friends and family, and if drinking is part of your plans, make sure getting home safely is part of the plan too.

From August 19 through September 7, the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office will have several deputies participating in increased impaired-driving enforcement as part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

Our goal isn’t to keep anyone from having a good time. It’s to make sure everyone makes it home safely.

Heading to the b**r garden? Pick a sober driver before the first drink.
- Have a ride lined up.
- Call someone if your plans change.
- And if you’ve been drinking, hand over the keys.

A DUI can change your life. A serious crash can change a lot of lives.

Have fun at the fair, look out for your friends, and help us keep Twin Falls County roads safe.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
