Cuts That Cost More: Medicaid, Mental Health and Idaho’s Sheriffs

As mental health services shrink, crises rise. Law enforcement is increasingly asked to fill the gap — often leading to more ER visits, jail time, and higher local costs. What does this mean for public safety and Idaho communities?

Join Sheriff Samuel Hulse, Immediate Past President of the Idaho Sheriffs' Association, and DeVere Hunt, Idaho Falls Crisis Center, for a conversation about how recent service reductions are reshaping crisis response across our state.

When treatment options disappear, who becomes the default responder?
How does this shift impact patrol, crime prevention, and community safety?

Be part of the discussion.
