From what I hear, BPD is a good department to work for. They are dying for experience officers from what I hear as well. They do require 64 credits and 3 years to lateral. But they take entry level applicants as well (anybody with less than three years, however you still need the college creds.) Good benefits, it is a Union department also, which has it's upsides and downsides. Overall good though. Pretty much the highest paying agency in Idaho. If you are looking at the Boise area, don't forget the suburbs. Here are some links to the city websites and agency websites:

Boise is in Region 2 and there are currently openings posted there. Idaho is a very fast growing state, Boise overall is in the top 5 in the nation I believe for growth rate. Idaho is an up and coming state and not a bad place to live and raise a family. Let me know if you have any questions otherwise.
