Chief R. Scot Haug

As a department, we are proud of the partnership and cooperation we share with our community. We are committed to working together to make certain that our community is a safe place to live, work and visit.

Holiday cheer and goodwill is upon us. Sadly many in our community do not have basic items of food or clothing, let alone the opportunity to feel the joy of Christmas. This year as in years past, the Spokane County Sheriff's Department, Post Falls Police Department, Kootenai County Sheriff's Department, Coeur d'Alene Police Department, Coeur d'Alene Tribal Police, Kootenai County Fire & Rescue, Rathdrum Police Department, Spirit Lake Police Department, Idaho State Police, Coeur d'Alene firefighters, and numerous volunteers are proud to join together and participate again this year in the “Holidays and Heroes” program.

This video was created by the Lane County District Attorney's Office in Oregon, with the assistance of the Eugene Police Department and other local agencies. This video provides important details regarding officer-involved shootings and the process used to investigate them. The process that is explained is from Lane County in Oregon, however, the process used in the Idaho, Region One Officer Involved Critical Incident Investigations Team is similar.

Captain McLean

After ten weeks of intensive training, Captain McLean was presented his Diploma, by FBI Director Mueller, at a Friday morning graduation ceremony. The ceremony was held at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. As part of this intensive training, Captain McLean also completed the optional "yellow Brick Road" fitness challenge, and was presented a yellow "brick" for his efforts in completing this difficult challenge.

We, at the Police Department, are very proud of Captain McLean's accomplishments.

2010 Annual Report

A thoughtful reflection of 2010 reminds all of us of the hard work and dedication by employees and volunteers of the Post Falls Police Department. This year was marked with impressive accomplishments. First and foremost, I want to say thank you to every employee and volunteer who made this past year the success that it was.

The Post Falls Police Department is pleased to announce that we have recently received State accreditation from the Idaho Chief's of Police Association (ICOPA).

The Post Falls Police Department is committed to providing the highest level of quality service to the community. In order to achieve this, we have undertaken and successfully completed our mission to become an accredited law enforcement agency.

Accreditation, long considered an essential component of establishing professional excellence in other professional fields, is a relatively new concept for law enforcement agencies. Set to the same professional tone as accreditation programs required for schools, universities, and hospitals, the law enforcement accreditation program through ICOPA is recognized as a means of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism.

The PFPD Store is a fast, secure and convenient way to pay for your dog license, traffic citation and other payment needs with the Post Falls Police Department. We can also take your reservation for traffic school and help you take care of a VIN inspection. We now accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Cards.
