ISP Budgets, Vehicles, and Buzz Lightyear with Colonel Bill Gardiner

The Ranch Podcast

Colonel Bill Gardiner is the Director of Idaho State Police. He has been in the department for almost three decades and was directly appointed by Gov. Brad Little. ISP works with all 44 sheriff offices throughout the state of Idaho to assist in all manner of law enforcement efforts, including search and rescue operations. ISP must ask the state directly for funding needs, and its budget is approved or denied by Idaho’s legislative body. Colonel Gardiner came in to shed light on some of their recent budget requests and decisions, and along the way, I learned about the Buzz Lightyear run of 2000. Enjoy!

It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials.
