Patrol & Marine

The Valley County Sheriff’s office is located at 107 W. Spring Street behind the courthouse in Cascade, Idaho. We are responsible for police services of nearly 4000 square miles of mostly forested terrain. Our county line starts south at milepost 84.5 on State Highway 55 and ends north at milepost 147.3 and west from West Mountain east to Bear Valley.

The Sheriff’s Office has 16 full time patrol deputies, 2 detectives and 2 administrative supervisors. The administrative support staff includes 5 full time.  No current volunteer reserve deputies.  Deputies are also supported by volunteer reserve deputies and Valley County Search and Rescue members.

Valley County is a popular resort community and as such the population fluctuates greatly, especially during the spring thru fall holiday weekends. Our deputies are involved in many community projects, both with kids and adults. We are involved in a wide range of duties beyond normal calls for service which include: forest patrols, avalanche forecasting, back country search and rescue, marine patrols, ATV and UTV patrols, snowmobile patrols, highway traffic enforcement, civil service, court security and many others. Our deputies currently have over 260 years of combined law enforcement experience to better serve the taxpayers and visitors to Valley County.
