Matt Clifford, who has been with the Ada County Sheriff’s Office since 2000, is now Ada County’s 39th sheriff.

Clifford was appointed by the Ada County Board of Commissioners about a month after the former sheriff retired suddenly on May 31, 2021.

The Ada County Sheriff is responsible for the largest law enforcement agency in the State of Idaho with over 800 employees and an over $100 million budget.

The sheriff’s duties include policing unincorporated Ada County and the cities of Eagle, Kuna and Star.

The sheriff is also responsible for managing the 1,116-bed Ada County Jail — and community supervision of about 2,000 offenders.

The sheriff is also responsible for Ada County Misdemeanor Probation, runs the county-wide 911 Emergency Dispatch Center and fulfills a variety of other statutory and cooperative duties.

Sheriff Clifford has worked as detention and patrol deputy, K9 handler, patrol sergeant, transports sergeant, and as a lieutenant who served as Chief of Eagle Police during his tenure with the ACSO before he assumed the role of sheriff.

Matt is humbled by the outpouring of support from family, friends, employees of the ACSO, and community members who supported his bid to be sheriff.

“I work every day to make Ada County a safer place to live, work, and play —and the support from the community is what makes it possible for the ACSO to overcome challenges and provide the best service to our citizens.

I am proud to be your sheriff.”

Riley Gaines is a leader defending women’s single-sex spaces, advocating for equality and fairness, and standing up for women’s safety, privacy, and equal opportunities.

Gaines graduated from the University of Kentucky, where she was a 12x All-American swimmer.

Riley has made waves for speaking out after tying UPenn’s Lia Thomas, a biological male swimmer on the women’s team, at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.

After Riley directly experienced competing against a man in women’s sports, being forced without warning or consent to undress before the fully intact male, and subjected to discrimination by the NCAA, she became one of the most powerful voices to speak out against the injustice, challenging the rules of the NCAA, USA Swimming, International Olympic Committee (IOC), and other governing bodies.

Riley now works for the leading women’s organization making real and lasting change, legally defining ‘woman,’ protecting Title IX, and defending women’s rights to single-sex spaces and equal opportunities. She has traveled the country speaking and has testified before the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and countless state legislatures.

Pam Stenzel Has spent her entire adult life working with women experiencing crisis pregnancies, advocating for LIFE and helping students make the best choice and save sex for marriage. Pam’s personal story, being conceived in rape and yet adopted and loved, gave her the passion to speak on the value of every human life as well as walk along side women in crisis and bring them help and hope. Pam’s life mission is to always point to the value of every single person, created in God’s image, with a plan and a purpose.

In 1996, along with Youth For Christ, Pam’s talk to teens “Sex Has A Price Tag” was released on VHS. This video is distributed worldwide and has been translated in 11 different languages.

Pam began speaking on sexual integrity to students, parents and educators full time and up until the pandemic was speaking LIVE to approximately 300,000 people per year around the world.
