Idaho School Lockdowns with Lt. Shawn Harper

Lt. Shawn Harper is a police officer with Meridian PD and worked to formulate school lockdown protocol in Idaho. The thought of violence on school campuses is horrifying, but after hearing him talk about what law enforcement is trained to do and what I, as a parent, should and SHOULD NOT do was incredibly important and comforting. If you have kids in schools in Idaho, consider giving this a listen.

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
