IDAHO CODE § 31-2002:
However, Idaho Code § 31-2002 gives the Attorney General the authority to investigate alleged violations of state criminal law by elected county officials and who are acting in their official capacity . A complaint must meet all three of these criteria for the Office of the Attorney General to investigate.
IDAHO CODE § 50-238:
Upon completion of an investigation into such allegations, the Attorney General may (a) Issue a finding that no further action is necessary; (b) Prescribe training or other non-judicial remedies not involving the filing of criminal charges; or, (c) Conduct further investigation and retain the matter for prosecution.
What violations does the statute cover? Idaho Code § 31-2002 and Idaho Code § 50-238 authorizes the Attorney General to investigate alleged violations of state criminal law by county and city officers holding elective office. This does not include: (1) Violations of city or county ordinances; (2) Acts with which the complaining party merely disagrees; (3) Inadequate performance of duties; (4) Policy violations; and (5) Acts performed in obedience to or permitted by a court order. The statute specifically excludes investigations into open meeting violations.
Who can be investigated? Idaho Code § 31-2002 applies to allegations involving "a county officer occupying an elective office." This includes only the following officers: (1) County Commissioners; (2) County Prosecutor; (3) County Sheriff; (4) County Clerk; (5) County Assessor; (6) County Treasurer; and (7) County Coroner. It does not include deputies or any other county or state employee.

It does not include the city attorney, city police chief, or any other municipal employee
Defining Official Capacity

The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division reviews all consumer complaints to determine what action is appropriate. If your complaint identifies the name and address of the caller or if we are able to identify the caller from the telephone number provided, we will forward your complaint to the caller for a response.
Because illegitimate businesses and criminals are able to "spoof" the telephone number that appears on the consumer's caller ID, it may be impossible for the Consumer Protection Division to identify the source of the call. However, when possible, our office works with other law enforcement offices and telecommunication companies to track down the perpetrators of these unwanted calls and hold them accountable under state and federal telemarketing laws.
