*State police start receiving $1,000 “Defend the Police” bonuses*



Boise, Idaho – Hundreds of frontline Idaho State Police personnel received
their $1,000 “Defend the Police” bonuses last Friday.



Governor Brad Little announced in May that he would show our law
enforcement that Idaho “backs the blue” by providing the $1,000 hazard pay
bonuses to more than 360 commissioned officers and regional communications
center personnel at the Idaho State Police.



*“Idaho truly is a state that ‘backs the blue.’ While other places seek to
‘defund the police,’ here in Idaho we are defending the police! Our men and
women in law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to serve and
protect us. The $1,000 ‘Defend the Police’ payments are one small way we
can recognize their courage and sacrifice,”* Governor Little said.
