Meridian Police Department - Idaho

🚑❤️ It’s AED Week!

Did you know every Meridian Police patrol vehicle is equipped with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? These lifesaving devices allow our officers to provide immediate care during cardiac emergencies, often before paramedics arrive.

The next time you see one of our patrol cars, look for the AED sticker on the back—it's a reminder that our officers are prepared to respond when every second counts.

Early CPR and quick access to an AED can save lives. We’re proud to carry this important equipment and serve our community both in emergencies and beyond.

Proud to take part in today’s Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics! 🔥🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

It’s an honor to run alongside these incredible athletes and help carry the Flame of Hope through our community. Thank you to everyone who came out to support inclusion, determination, and the amazing spirit of Special Olympics.

🚨Notice: Meridian Police Department lobbies will be closed tomorrow, Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day.

We honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful for their sacrifice and for the freedoms they protected.

As always, officers remain on duty and ready to respond.

For emergencies, call 911.

For non-emergencies, call 208-377-6790.

We are proud to recognize Officers Johnson and Chevallier with the ACCESS Lifesaving Award for their swift and decisive actions during a cardiac arrest call in Meridian in early December 2025.

Upon arrival, the officers quickly recognized the severity of the medical emergency and immediately assisted with life-saving measures prior to EMS arrival, including CPR and early intervention efforts alongside bystanders. Their rapid response and teamwork helped ensure the patient received critical care without delay.

Their actions played a vital role in the patient’s survival and positive recovery outcome, reflecting their strong commitment to preserving life in emergency situations.

Traded in our uniforms for softball jerseys yesterday! 🥎

Our team had a great time participating in the softball tournament hosted by the MPEA - Meridian Police Employee Association. It was a day full of friendly competition and plenty of wind alongside our fellow Treasure Valley agencies.

Thank you to Nampa Police Department, Caldwell Police Department, the Ada County Prosecutor's Office, and Idaho Corrections Probation & Parole for joining us. A special thank you as well to our sponsors Overhead Door Company of Southwestern Idaho, and Scheels, for supporting the event.

And to top it all off… we brought home the championship trophy! 🏆

🚦How we feel when you run a red light!

Officers spent a few hours conducting red light enforcement at Meridian and Overland, where they made several traffic stops resulting in citations for red light violations alone.

Red lights aren’t suggestions. A few extra seconds of waiting could prevent a serious crash. Slow down, stay alert, and stop on red.

During National Police Week, we recognize the officers who serve our community every day and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Thank you to our officers, staff, families, and community members for your continued support. We are proud to serve the City of Meridian.
