While a part of the Ada County Sheriff's office, the Eagle Police Department maintains a unique identity and connection to the City. The Eagle Police Department is led by a Chief of Police and keeps an administrative office and sub -station within the City. Jail and court services are shared with Ada County. Eagle Police officers can call on fellow Ada County Sheriffs deputies working outside of Eagle for assistance when necessary. The partnership between the City of Eagle and the ACSO means the City has access to all Figure 4.1: Crime and Clearance Crimes per 1,000 Residents Eagle — Eagle 5yr Average =23.7 of the County's law enforcement resources without the administrative costs of running a fully - independent police department. Demographic and economic conditions will have a tremendous influence on the demand for police services. The Eagle Police Department is committed to providing the highest quality of police service with crime prevention and problem -solving being of the highest priority. The Eagle Police Department also partners with the City to provide community building engagement and education to our citizens. The Eagle Police Department supports the mission of making safer places to live, work, and play. Eagle continues to have one of the lowest crime rates in Southwest Idaho, despite steady population growth over the last five years. A closer look at the numbers shows a slight increase in the number of crimes reported in 2015, along with a larger increase in the number of crimes solved by arrest.

Fire protection services are provided by independent fire protection districts, not the City of Eagle. Based on location, fire protections services are provided by the Eagle Fire District, Star Fire District, and the Meridian Joint Fire District, though the majority of the City and Foothills are contained within the Eagle Fire District boundary. The mission of the districts is to provide diversified emergency services in a competent and caring fashion with dedication through progressive thinking, training, technology, public education, and superior public service ensuring a safe environment for the Eagle community today and tomorrow. The City partners with the Eagle Fire District for numerous events and community education projects to ensure that the City is a safe place to live, work, and play. 4.4.1 FIRE PROTECTION GOAL The Eagle Fire District is the only fire protection district to provide fire stations within the City limits.

The substations are located on Floating Feather Road at Horseshoe Bend Road and on Linder Road at Clear Field Drive. In 2020, the Eagle Fire Protection District underwent a capital facility planning process in accordance with Idaho Code 67-82 to identify the impact of growth on the provision of fire services within the City and the larger district. The 2018 adopted Fire CIP establishes a level of service of 85 percent fractile response time of 4-minutes and establishes the frame work for a Fire Impact Fee commensurate with this level of service (see the 2018 Eagle Fire District Impact Fee Study and Capital Improvement Plan)., WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICTS TO ENSURE THAT FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN EXISTING LEVELS OF SERVICE AND ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASING DEMANDS IMPOSED BY A GROWING POPULATION AND NEW BUSINESSES. 4.4.2 OBJECTIVES A.
