Sexy Snub: Idaho's Cops Miss the Spotlight in National Rankings

Here in Idaho, if you’re seeing an Idaho State Police Officer, it’s probably because you’re pulled over on the side of one of our many highways. In these instances, you may have been speeding and with no offense meant to the officer behind you–you really don’t want to be seeing them at all.

Perhaps you’re strolling through our State Capitol building, there you might see one of many State Troopers that work to keep the building safe. You can identify them by their obvious badges–but also their crisp black uniforms and round hats.

Do you like a man or woman in uniform?

Recently, an online publication called ‘Wealth of Geeks’ ranked all 50 states in order of their state trooper uniform ‘sexiness’.

Well, Idaho didn’t rank as high as we may have hoped–here’s a closer look

What’s behind these rankings!?

According to the folks at Wealth of Geeks, these rankings were compiled based off of a total of 3,000 votes. Who voted? Where? Why didn’t we get a ballot? Idaho was really snubbed!

Ranking in first place, nationwide? The State of Texas.

What made Texas so special? According to Wealth of Geeks, there are a whole lot of “sexy” details going into these uniforms:

Envision shirts in a crisp, authoritative dark tan, known affectionately by troopers as “Texas Tan”. These shirts aren’t just attire; they’re a banner of pride and tradition, tailored to stand tall against the backdrop of bustling cities, sprawling ranches, and everything in between. They’re designed to command respect with a silhouette that’s as sharp as a cowboy’s resolve. It’s the cowboy hat that truly sets this uniform apart, worn with the swagger of a rodeo champion and the solemn duty of a ranger.

What do you think!? Idaho will always be number one for us!

Check out Idaho’s newest license plate — with a patriotic flair (and no potatoes) – East Idaho News

BOISE (Idaho Statesman) — Idaho drivers wanting to celebrate America’s anniversary this year now have a unique way to do that. The Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles has released an America 250 license plate to mark the occasion.

The new license plate includes an American flag on a blue background with the words “America 250” and the dates “1776 – 2026.”

The plate requires an extra fee that will go toward supporting the Idaho Heritage Trust, according to an Idaho Transportation Department news release. The specific fee wasn’t listed.

“This plate gives Idahoans a chance to mark a historic milestone and show their pride on the road,” said Lisa McClellan, DMV administrator, in a statement. “We’re proud to offer a design that honors our country’s past while supporting Idaho’s efforts to preserve its own history.”

Idaho’s favorite license plate

The new license plate may give Idaho’s favorite a run for its money.

The Idaho Transportation Department recently held a “Battle of the Plates” vote to find out which license plate Idahoans loved best.

The Forests Forever plate was crowned the champion on April 7. Funds generated from this plate go toward Idaho replanting and reforestation projects, as well as environmental education programs for Idaho students and teachers.

“One of Idaho’s newest plates, Forests Forever made a strong run and came out on top, highlighting just how much Idahoans value our forests and natural resources,” the transportation department said in a social media post.
