IDAHO FALLS – City officials and members of the Idaho Falls Police Department broke ground on the future police complex at 701 Northgate Mile Thursday morning.

When Bryce Johnson became Idaho Falls police chief in 2017, he was taking control of a department that had just come out of a series of public confrontations.Â
Former Police Chief Mark McBride proved unpopular within the department after the officers held a vote of no confidence against him. Officers accused their boss of passing them over for promotions in violation of the department s policies and allegedly favoring McBride s preferred candidates.Â
Johnson is the department s third chief in a decade. Steve Roos was chief from 2007 to 2012 and was succeeded by McBride. More than three years after Johnson was hired, the department looks very different. Officer morale is up.Â
