The Idaho State Police Association is comprised of six regional chapters. There is an ISPA Chapter associated with each Idaho State Police Region and each chapter represents the ISP employee members for that region. Each chapter has a Chapter President who sits on the Board of Directors for the association. Each chapter also has a Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. In some cases, the positions of Secretary and Treasurer are combined. Some chapters also have a merchandiser.
