Notes:
The January Dinner meeting was held at the Sunrise Restaurant at 6:30 P.M.
Program highlights:
Our Speaker was Kieran Donahue. He is running for Canyon County Sheriff. Kieran is a Detective for The Canyon County Sheriffs office and has worked for the County for 8 years. Kieran talked about the Gang and Violent Crime Unit that includes several local Police Departments. This unit is in conjunction with the Federal ATF Department. This allows the arrested to be tried in the Federal Prison System. They are targeting the Head people in the Meth Trafficking System. The Treasure Valley is a distribution point for the drug coming from Mexico.
