Safety Presentations

The Pocatello Police Department promotes education of the community in how to prevent crime. To achieve this, the Community Services Coordinator is available to perform presentations and trainings on home & personal safety, internet safety, preventing fraud & identity theft, retail crime prevention and other crime prevention topics. Security surveys for your business and home are available to identify ways to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of a crime.
