Living now in Idaho county(largest county in Idaho) that connects to Adams county just south of here and having lived in Valley county for 40 years also connecting to Adams county I can say with ease and accuracy that police departments do more hiring "out" then they do hiring locals.

Wish it was different but it isn't anymore.
