I thought that the officer was in the car when it slid.

Dishonest cops!
What was the HR resolution of that lie?http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/community/boise/article49171080.html

As to erico49’s point, I would bet a year’s supply of donuts, Boise has more police vehicles than any other comparable city (population & geography). Put Boise Fire in the same bet. Just guessing with alternative facts: the fact is, they have a lot!

And they still can’t enforce traffic laws. Also, there was a story on a BPD car that slid down a hill. A fireman pulled someone out of the way. I am curious if that officer got cited for failure to control his vehicle.

EDITOR NOTE–The downhill incident was the result of the force of gravity, not the police force.
