  • Special Assistant United States Attorney (SAUSA)

    The Treasure Valley Partnership SAUSA Project is a demonstration project to hire a U.S. Attorney to federally prosecute gang related crimes in the Treasure Valley.

     

    Gang related criminal activity will be prosecuted in Federal court and the individuals would be sentenced to Federal Prison alleviating the cost to the State for housing these criminal perpetrators.

     

    This SAUSA Project is being undertaken through a partnership between the Treasure Valley Partnership, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Canyon County Prosecutor's Office and the State of Idaho.

  • Covered Loads Ordinance

     

    The Partnership's intent with this ordinance is to focus on public safety and some of the other issues we deal with as municipal governments, such as cleaning up roads as a result of this activity.

    However, public safety has been the driving force behind developing this Covered Loads ordinance.

  • Pseudoephedrine Control

    Pseudoephedrine Control - An effort to restrict the manufacture of Methamphetamine

    The main goal, reducing the incidences of the manufacture of methamphetamine, was tackled and legal remedies were instituted.

    During the 2006 Idaho State Legislative session, HB 530 was developed and passed. This legislation put limitation on the sales and purchases of products containing Pseudoephedrine.

    The Treasure Valley Partnership hailed the success of this effort. The Partnership worked together to solve a problem faced by all jurisdictions and a spirit of teamwork and synergy were the result.
