In looking into moving to Boise area, I asked alot of police about the gang problem and the crime problem. I was convinced that both Caldwell and Nampa would not work Northend, Garden City and Bench would be out Originally Posted by aca1. Usually I am. Most of the gang activity in Nampa is centralized around the older numbered streets in town between 11th Ave N, east to Victory, between 7th St N and 1st St N.

The police presence in Idaho is astounding. All the criminals are probably packing their bags for Oregon where they can reign free. The crime in east Portland and Gresham is skyrocketing as criminals around the country have found a safe-haven in certain areas for their activities. Seriously, if you are afraid, get a weapons permit, as Idaho has great gun laws and promotes self-defense of its citizens, unlike communist states like California.
Most criminals here know Idahoans are not afraid to use their guns to defend themselves and their fellow citizens. There is even a very good chance that grandma may be packing. That is something I like about this state. Driving around Nampa, I just couldn't believe how nice and clean of a town it is!
