Juvenile Resources

There is no higher priority for Mayor Joe Stear and the City Council than the well being of Kuna families. To that end, city officials and Kuna Police are always working on ways to create a safer and more secure environment for our children. That’s why Mayor Stear and City Council decided to add a new full-time juvenile detective to Kuna Police in 2018.

That detective, former Kuna School Resource Officer Krista Ducharme, concentrates on non-school related problems and juvenile mental health issues. She also works closely with Kuna’s four school resource officers to identify and then address issues that impact Kuna’s youth.

With this position, Kuna Police hope to help prevent and combat issues facing our juveniles by providing focused and comprehensive services to our youth and their families.

Here’s how to get a hold of our juvenile detective and school resource officers:
