Idaho Residents Are Floored By the Crime Stats Released By the Twin Falls Police

The Twin Falls Police Department released the crime statistics for July, and based on the numbers, it is fair to say that Twin Falls is no longer a small town.

The social media post shared key statistics, including traffic stops, citations, arrests, and vehicle accidents.

Police Transparency: July Crime Statistics Released for Twin Falls, ID

The social media report is an effort by the Twin Falls Police Department to be transparent about the work they are doing in the community. A few of the surprise numbers are the total calls for service and the number of hit-and-run accidents that happened in July in Twin Falls.

Another statistic that has surprised residents is the small percentage of traffic stops that resulted in citations. The TFPD says the majority of traffic stops resulted in education and warnings rather than tickets.

These are the statistics the TFPD shared and said they plan to release these numbers every month with possibly more categories included in future months.

In the social media post from the Twin Falls Police Department, they also asked what other stats the community would like to see.

Some of those include domestic violence calls, suicides, murders, child abuse, DUI arrests, drug-related calls, and school bus arm-stop violations when school starts.

What statistics would you like to see shared by the police? I’d like to know if they ever pull anyone over for using a phone while driving - I see that happening a lot still.
