In 1969 the Idaho Legislature enacted legislation that made possible the first full-time basic police academy which opened on January 4, 1970. In 1974 legislation was passed which mandated that all peace officers within the state be certified and in 1995 the Idaho Legislature approved a self-sponsored program. The Idaho State Police is a 148,000 square foot facility located on 43 acres in Meridian, Idaho. The facility includes an administration building, physical training building, dormitory, cafeteria and warehouse. The campus houses the administrative offices, state-of-the-art classrooms, physical training areas, and student accommodations to make this a modern and complete educational facility.
