Bellevue

The southern end of the Wood River Valley, and the smallest city in Blaine County with its own police agency. Policing is done by the Bellevue Marshal’s Office.

The Common Council authorized two Flock Safety plate readers on 24 March 2025, by resolution, with the Marshal’s written policy printed in the packet before the vote. The cameras went live that October. The Marshal prints a plate read count for the Council every month.

Civic action

Show up

The Bellevue city council decides for city departments like the police, at public meetings any resident can attend and speak at. Other agencies based in Bellevue, such as a school district, answer to their own elected boards. We have confirmed where these bodies meet and how public comment works at each one.
