  • Public Safety Academy to Graduate 33 Law Enforcement Officers
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Public Safety Academy to Graduate 33 Law Enforcement Officers ALET Session #20-01 includes eight Alaska State Troopers, two Wildlife Troopers, and recruits from several city state, and borough police agencies June 12, 2020, SITKA — A full house is expected tomorrow afternoon as 33 newly minted law enforcement officers march across the stage to receive their badges. To accommodate social distancing, the large graduating class and their guests, this ALET graduation will be held at the Harrigan Centennial Hall in Sitka. The graduation ceremony, which begins at 1 p.m., will feature a class of eight Alaska State Troopers, two Alaska Wildlife Troopers, and recruits from several city and borough police departments from around the state. “Public safety has been priority number one for my administration,” said Gov. Mike Dunleavy. “I am proud to see a new class of law enforcement officers graduating and deploying to every region of the state. These committed individuals have answered the call of service and sacrifice to protect their fellow Alaskans.” Graduating recruits completed more than 1,000 hours of training over the course of 16 weeks of basic Alaska Law Enforcement Training. Schooling included intensive instruction in law enforcement-related topics, physical fitness, and many scenario-based exercises designed to prepare entry-level police officers and Troopers for successful careers in Alaska law enforcement. “I am very proud not only of this graduating class, but also the law enforcement agencies statewide and the Alaska Law Enforcement Training academy staff. While they were all here focusing on the extensive training in preparation of their service to Alaska, circumstances they could never have planned for occurred; a global pandemic requiring significant change to our way of life challenged the schedule of their training, and the profession they are entering into has been under great scrutiny nationwide,” said Department of Public Safety Commissioner Amanda Price.

  • State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing
    State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing EDWARD A. GLADSTONE and THOMAS W. COOPER, U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, Office of Planning •CONCERN FOR the safety of the motoring public, and the importance of the state police organizations in enforcing traffic and safety laws, was voiced by the governors of most of the 47 states in which the legislatures met in regular session in 1965. In state after state the governor's message emphasized highway safety and pointed to the need for additional highway patrol troops to curb highway accidents and fatalities. In at least 30 states requests were made for an increase in patrol strength, either by the governor, by legislative committees, or by safety agencies. Collectively, specific requests were made in 21 states for nearly 3, 800 troopers to be added to the patrol strength within the next onP. to four years. A summary of the requests (as of mid-1965) is given in Table 1. If approved, these requests would increase patrol strength by an average of 23 percent.
