Ketchum

The northern end of the Wood River Valley, below Bald Mountain. The Ketchum Police Department has policed the city since 3 August 2026; before that the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office did it under a contract that ran seventeen years, which the City Council voted to end on 9 April 2026.

The city told a resident in writing on 27 July 2026 that it has no Flock cameras. A resident has put a drafted privacy and surveillance ordinance in front of the Council as written public comment.

Show up

The Ketchum city council decides for city departments like the police, at public meetings any resident can attend and speak at. Other agencies based in Ketchum, 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.
