Proper use and safeguards for emerging technology in public safety has evolved right alongside it from the moment of creation and implementation. Leveraging proven technology with structure and good policy has proven to be more effective in your community is worthy of trusting. Especially considering the amount of technology being leveraged by private sources in every moment of our lives.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 23, at 10am, we'll hold a press conference announcing a breakthrough in one of Idaho's longest-standing cold cases.

In 1982, an unidentified man died inside a Boise church. For decades, he was known only as the "Unknown Wanderer." Tomorrow, ACSO Cold Case Detective Tim Cooper and Sheriff Matt Clifford will share who he was, along with a possible connection to the 1982 Tylenol murders. They'll be joined by forensic psychiatrist Dr. Park Dietz and The Official Unsolved Mysteries.

You can watch live on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/

Can't catch it live? The full press conference will be recorded and posted to the channel afterward.
