Investigations Division

Sergeant Fry is currently in his second year as the Detective Sergeant. His unit consisted of Corporal Bob Marr, and Officer Scott Bidondo. Together they investigated 210 cases during the year.

A new forensic computer along with associated software was acquired during 2008 which has enhanced our ability to retrieve evidence in technology crimes. Corporal Marr has acquired expertise in data recovery in various devices which include cellular phones, personal data devices, flash drives, and hard drives. He has also expanded his abilities in video recovery and identification. Corporal Marr’s reputation as a forensic examiner is well known and his services are requested throughout the region.

The Idaho Attorney General’s Office acquired grant funding to begin a state Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force during 2007 to focus on internet child pornography and enticement cases. Grant funding was made available to this department in 2008 and has been used to train Detective Scott Bidondo to become qualified for investigating child pornography and enticement crimes. Grant funding also provided computer and software equipment for conducting internet investigations. As a member of the Idaho ICAC Task Force the department has access to regional and federal resources to provide proactive peer-to-peer investigations and prosecutions. The task force provides resources for educational programs that are accessible to our community to detect and prevent crimes against children associated with internet activities. Chief Weaver is a sitting member of the Idaho ICAC Executive Board and has made numerous contributions on training programs and budget appropriations.
