Eagle Police

Today we take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

In observance of Memorial Day, the Eagle Police substation lobby will be closed Monday, May 25, 2026. However, deputies will remain on patrol and will be available to respond to calls for service. Please contact dispatch if you need assistance.

Here's a summary of the Eagle Police monthly stats for April 2026.

These numbers include both calls for service deputies responded to and proactive activity they initiated.

Citizen calls for service are generated through calls to Ada County Dispatch. Proactive activity is deputy-initiated and can include traffic stops, suspicious vehicles, extra patrol, follow-up investigations, and other self-initiated enforcement or prevention efforts.

We’re grateful for our community and their willingness to share any concerns they see within our community.

On May 18, 2026, at about 12:10 a.m., an Eagle Police deputy was driving eastbound on W. Chinden Blvd. when the deputy saw an individual riding an electric motorcycle westbound. As the rider passed the deputy, the deputy noticed the motorcycle was equipped with a headlight but no taillight.

The deputy turned around and began following the rider, during which the deputy observed the rider’s driving pattern become increasingly reckless and erratic as the rider accelerated, swerved between lanes, and drove into oncoming traffic. The rider also ran a red light.

The deputy exited his patrol vehicle and ordered the rider to stop. The rider accelerated toward the deputy in an attempt to drive past him. With little space between the patrol vehicle and the electric motorcycle, the deputy wrapped his arms around the rider and took him to the ground.

The deputy suffered a minor leg injury and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation, where he was later released.

The rider, identified as a 15-year-old juvenile male, was arrested and booked into the Ada County Juvenile Detention Center for {F} Fleeing and Eluding and {F} Aggravated Battery on Law Enforcement.

Meet Detective David Anderson!

Detective Anderson started his law enforcement career in 2002 with the Los Angeles Police Department. In 2008, he transferred to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office where he worked as a narcotics detective. For the last six years, Detective Anderson has been the School Resource Officer (SRO) at Eagle High School.

Detective Anderson works hard at everything he does, including building relationships with those he meets. He is willing to collaborate, he’s willing to try new things, and is always looking for ways to keep his students safe. His students find him approachable and trustworthy. Eagle High School’s admin team enjoys working with Detective Anderson so much, they put
his high school picture on t-shirts to wear around the campus.

In 2018, Detective Anderson received the Medal of Valor from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office and received the Idaho Medal of Honor in 2019.

Detective Anderson was recently interviewed by Kayley with Eagle High School’s Newspaper called The Stampede. Kayley asked him about his time as an SRO, to which Detective Anderson replied, “I absolutely love this assignment. I didn’t think I was going to…and I almost didn’t take it.” Kayley went on to explain how much Detective Anderson enjoys helping his students in any way he can.

In his spare time, Detective Anderson enjoys working out and spending time with his family playing Monopoly the card game and Yahtzee.

We’re excited he will be working this summer in the Eagle foothills, working to keep community members safe while enjoying the trails.

Chief Ruby and Motor Deputies Denney and McKelvey joined fellow law enforcement officers from across Idaho this morning for the annual Idaho Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony.

Today was a time to pause, remember, and honor those who gave their lives in service to their communities. We will never forget their sacrifice.
