= Police =
As mayor of Boise, Lauren McLean requested the Police department head, Ryan Lee, her appointee, to resign following months of internal scandal within BPD and the mayor's office. She learned of problems officers had with Lee through officers sending reviews to HR. Issues of name-calling and allegations of verbal abuse by Lee led many officers to retire early. She discussed how having a clear place for officers to bring their complaints is necessary. She stated that she knew of these issues and had a third party to come and review the complaints. She received the information from the third party and found that no laws were broken; however, systematic issues needed to be addressed. The third-party requested McLean put Lee on paid leave, which McLean did not do.{{Cite web |date=2022-10-06 |title=Boise Mayor Lauren McLean speaks on Lee's resignation: 'I had to make a decision based on new information I had' |url=https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/investigations/7-investigates/boise-mayor-lauren-mclean-speaks-on-lees-resignation-i-had-to-make-a-decision-based-on-new-information-i-had/277-25f19b0f-da0c-4949-9a6d-e7416ecb012d |access-date=2024-12-10 |website=ktvb.com |language=en-US}} She explained that since it was an investigation and not a charge, she chose not to place him on leave. Once this information became public, she decided it was in the department's best interest to let Lee go.
In August 2024, McLean selected Chris Dennison, the assistant chief of Tucson, Arizona, to lead the police department in Boise. She stated that her decision was based on Dennison's understanding of trust between police and the community it serves.{{Cite news |last=Sarah Cutler |first=Alex Brizee |date= |title=Boise chooses its new police chief.

In June 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States ruling [https://www.oyez.org/cases/1971/70-18 Roe v.

While not able to change policies regarding abortion in the city of Boise, McLean expressed disapproval of these decisions made by both the Supreme Court of the United States and the Supreme Court of Idaho, claiming that these restrictions hurt minority and low-income women.{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=CBS2 News |date=2022-06-24 |title=Boise Mayor: 'I am infuriated and intensely worried' |url=https://idahonews.com/news/local/boise-mayor-i-am-infuriated-and-intensely-worried |access-date=2024-12-03 |website=KBOI |language=en}} In July 2022, McLean proposed a [http://boisecityid.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_LegiFile.aspx?Frame=&MeetingID=4233&MediaPosition=&ID=18446&CssClass= resolution] to the Boise City Council to limit public safety resources going into investigating doctors who perform abortions and individuals who receive that healthcare, unless the pregnancy was caused in response to force implicated on the impregnated individual.{{Cite web |date=2022-07-18 |title='If not us, then who?'
