Sergeant Gary Sikes speaks to the Salmon High School student body, at a DUI/Narcotic "Multi-Media" prevention presetation. The Idaho Transportation Department funded this first time event for our community, due to active involvement in Idahos yearly "Safe Driving" campaignes, by the Salmon Police Department and Lemhi County Sheriff's Department. Sergeant K. V. Felker and Sheriff Sam Slavin are pictured in the foreground. The faculty and student body proclaimed this presentation to, "be the best presentation of the year!".
The Salmon Police Department, in conjunction with all Lemhi County Emergency Service Organizations hosted an "Easte Egg Hunt" for the kids at the Lemhi Promise After-School Program. Over 500 eggs & candies were hidden all through Caveness Park and on the various Emergency Vehicles for the kids to find!
The "Multi-Media" presentation was geared around upbeat, current Hollywood film clips, coupled with Teen DUI/Alcohol Abuse/Drug Abuse, as well as "life & decisional skills" for teenagers -- "It had you on the edge of your seat!"
The police department in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Transportation obtained partial funding for a "speed monitor" wagon for the Salmon area. The radar unit was a grant purchase, and the City of Salmon provided funding for the police department to construct "their own version of what would be a $8-$10,000.00" piece of traffic safety equipment. The police department has approximately $1,000.00 of city funds invested!
Several happy faces greeted local Law Enforcement officers during the 2006 - ABC Task Force "Awareness Week" at the Salmon High School this year! The event, again, was a BIG SUCCESS!
The police department, in cooperation with the Salmon High School Drug Free coordinator used Byrne Grant monies to host "The Standards" to "kick-off" the 2006-7 school year. The singing group is world renown for their style "oldies", and couple their love of music with a "prevention message" to teens. The High School students felt it was one of the best school year start ups they have seen!

The Faith Based portion of the Byrne Grant, allowed Law Enforcement to coordinate with local denominations from various churches on a Salmon River Float Trip! The trip was overnight, plus two full days of adventure for the entire 6th grade class of the Salmon School District. The kids worked on team building exercises and got to interact with Law Enforcement mentors as well as Faith Based mentors on the trip.

The recently formed Lemhi Sheriff's Office "Horse Posse" was a great asset to the City Police Department, by manning many intersections alone Main Street during the race. The horses gave a look of the old west to the many out of state visitors, who did not live in the Western United States. The Sheriff's Horse Posse is dedicated to perserving the heritage of Lemhi County, and they performed with distinction!
Sheriff Sam Slavin has demonstrated a strong desire for intra-Agency cooperation with all Law Enforcment Departments, as demonstrated by the Sheriff's Horse Posse at the recent Salmon Marathon Race - the Posse members were great asset's for crowd control and runner safety!
