§ 01 — Why train here
Where the academy is actually based.
IDS is headquartered right here in Meridian, so if you live in Meridian you're training with a local outfit, not a name that visits from out of town. That closeness shows up in the little things: quick answers to your questions, flexible scheduling, and a curriculum built by someone who trains in the same valley you live in. Live-fire happens at Double Tapp Range, a short hop away — an easy trip for anyone in Meridian or the wider Treasure Valley.
