Community Involvement

Take a Bite out of Crime with McGruff

Nampa Police Department is actively involved in the McGruff Crime Prevention program. If you would like McGruff to attend your event and cover crime prevention tips, please contact CSO Yvette Fickel a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. (Preferably longer in advance).

Child Fingerprinting Program

Fingerprinting your child is a very good idea and Nampa Police can help. If your child is ever abducted or lost, fingerprints can help law enforcement identify your child and increase the chance of their proper identification and safe return home.

We offer child fingerprinting and encourage groups, such as Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts, or church groups to come in for a tour of the department and to be fingerprinted. If you are interested in bringing your group through for fingerprinting, please contact CSO Yvette Fickel for scheduling.

Police Athletics League (PAL) Program

The Nampa Police Department is proud to be part of the PAL (Police Athletic League) program. This program is designed to offer positive, wholesome and character building activities in well-supervised and safe settings. We offer youth football, outdoor programs (hiking, rock climbing, etc), weight training, boxing and more. We will be starting equestrian events soon as well.
