Reporting
The reporting on Idaho’s police records
InvestigateWest and the Invisible Institute · February 2026
Idaho POST and the Department of Correction stopped disclosing whether officers retired, resigned or were terminated — data they had previously given journalists. It followed October 2025 reporting that identified 37 prison workers accused of sexual misconduct, at least 18 of whom resigned. POST called its data platform flawed, dismantled it, and said it had no further responsive documents.
Idaho is the one state here that released this data and then took it back. Our Idaho file is from before that.
What this data does not say
It never asserts that anyone is currently employed. The supported statement is that a person is listed as employed at an agency as of 2024-08-12, with no separation recorded.
Records are state-scoped. Idaho certification numbers are issued by its own board, so someone certified in two states appears in two files and is never merged into one history.
Measured across the 26 published files as of 2026-08-29, 69,683 officer records are open at two or more agencies at once — a genuine dual appointment, or a separation the board never recorded. Counted per file, never across states. The data cannot tell the two apart, so neither is asserted.
Where this comes from, and how to correct it
This page presents what NPI published bucket made available, as it was released. Some files reach us directly from the reporting agency and some through intermediaries that obtained them under public-records law; either way the content is the agency’s, not ours. CaseParity does not investigate, verify, correct or vouch for any individual record, and takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of what a reporting agency published.
A correction to the record itself is made by the certifying agency that issued it — that is the only route that changes it at the source, and therefore everywhere it appears, here included. If what this page shows does not match that agency’s file, write to hello@caseparity.com and say which record and which field. No response time is promised, and nothing here substitutes for going to the agency.
