What happened
The Nampa Police Department is requesting a $5 million permanent levy override to hire and retain personnel and build a training facility. The department cited population growth as the reason for needing more officers to maintain proactive patrolling capabilities. If voters approve the levy during the November 3 election, it would allow the department to add 24 police officers to its Patrol Division.

Why it matters
The proposed levy would cost $28.93 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value each year. The funding is intended to address staffing shortages caused by the city's recent population increase, allowing the department to increase its capacity for emergency response and patrol.
