Hayden Law Enforcement Meeting
Wow, Hayden City Councilman Roetter didn't want to abide by the set time for public comment. Quite a bit of what he said was half truths or inaccurate. Then Roetter goes on to be rude in public to Councilwoman White yet again. No attempt to resolve the issue with the quorum privately from what I can tell. Eight minutes into the video there is a discussion about hiring a consultant to figure out how Hayden can have its own police force in the future. Why is a consultant needed

Law Enforcement Should Know the Legal Powers of the County Sheriff
Who is the detective/investigator who was involved with charges regarding the February town hall event where a person was removed by the sheriff? It looks like it was former CDA police office Hailey, who is now the appointed police chief of Rathdrum PD, and the soon to retire CDA Police Chief White. Is it reasonable for me to expect a police officer to be able to understand the difference between the powers of the County Sheriff and his jurisdiction? Here is a link to Idaho C

Is this referring to a local city council candidate?
Excerpts from a 2009 news article - link to article at bottom of post. "Boundary County School District Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to keep Ed DePriest as Bonners Ferry High School’s head football coach for 2009. “I’d like to thank the school board for letting the public speak,” said Skeen, who understood the issues surrounding DePriest’s future were related to his apparent inability to follow the rules and orders."
