Kuna began contracting for law enforcement services with the Ada County Sheriff's Office in 1998. In addition to Lt. Kody Aldrich, there are two field supervisors, eight deputies, two detectives and a field services technician committed to patrolling and protecting Kuna. These officers can call on fellow deputies from the county for help when necessary. The partnership between Kuna and the Ada County Sheriff's Office means the city has access to all of the county's law enforcement resources without the administrative costs of running a fully independent police department.
