The Twin Falls Police Department’s S.T.A.R. Team is committed to reducing traffic collisions and collision-related injuries in the City of Twin Falls by using three key tactics: enforcement, education and community participation. Developed in 2000, the S.T.A.R. Team is a group of five Twin Falls Police Officers specifically trained and deployed to respond to the extensive traffic needs of our community. Staff Sergeant Dennis Pullin leads the STAR Team.

Throughout the late 1990’s, the City of Twin Falls led most cities in the State of Idaho in its annual vehicle collision rate and number of collision-related injuries, while ranking last in seat belt usage. Recognizing the need to develop aggressive, innovative strategies to handle this growing crisis, the Twin Falls Police Department created the Strategic Traffic Accident Team in May 2000. Since that time, the City of Twin Falls has seen a reduction in its number of reportable vehicle collisions and a significant increase in its seat belt usage rate.
