Bonneville County, Idaho, has about 134,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Bonneville County depends on where the incident happened: the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Idaho Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Bonneville County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Bonneville County that is the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.

The Bonneville County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 125 violent and 360 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 999 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at bonnevillecountyidaho.gov/administration/sheriff (page title: Sheriff | Bonneville County), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026.

What the Idaho Public Records Act Requires
Under the Idaho Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 3 working days, or 10 when more time is needed, and it may charge copying after the first 100 pages and labor after the first two hours. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, 208-529-1348, handles discovery for pending cases.
