Idaho Blotter
An open public-records platform that makes Idaho law-enforcement, court, and transparency data easier to find, read, and verify.
What we publish
Idaho Blotter collects and normalizes records that are already public under Idaho law and local government practice, including:
- Police blotters and incident reports from county and municipal agencies.
- Jail bookings and roster updates from participating counties.
- Court hearings, case status, and selected criminal-case outcomes.
- Missing-person alerts and located-person updates.
- Active warrant notices where counties publish them.
- Public meetings, code violations, license sanctions, and other transparency datasets.
How we work
Records are pulled from official sources — sheriff and police websites, court portals, jail rosters, email distributions, and public PDFs — then standardized into a single searchable database.
Before a record is shown publicly, it passes through automated and human-assisted review for accuracy, tone, and sensitive personal information. We link back to the original source whenever possible so readers can verify details directly.
Editorial standards
We do not alter the factual content of official records, but we may redact or summarize sensitive details. An arrest or booking is not a determination of guilt; all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
Corrections & contact
If you believe a record is inaccurate, outdated, or should be removed, use the correction form. For other questions, visit the support hub.
Idaho Blotter is not a government agency. It does not replace official notice, clerk records, or direct contact with the source agency.
