Get NotifiedAbout Missoula County Law Enforcement
Missoula County is home to the University of Idaho and the city of Missoula, western Idaho's largest urban center. The Missoula County Sheriff's Office and Missoula Police Department are the primary law enforcement agencies. In 2024, the Missoula Police Department reported a 9.9% decrease in felony violent crime, including 36 robberies, 357 assaults, and 2 homicides — though theft and disorderly conduct increased. The county also has an active drug task force that seized nearly 40,000 dosage units of fentanyl in 2024. The Missoula County Detention Center publishes a real-time inmate roster updated throughout the day.
Missoula County has stronger brand and search demand than its current archive depth would suggest, so this page needs to answer the obvious practical searches first: police blotter, arrests, jail roster, and recent county activity.
The goal here is to make Missoula County a durable search landing page now, then let the archive deepen underneath it over time as more local reporting and linked records are added.
