The Alaska State Troopers on Wednesday named the force’s first Black colonel, at a moment when the organization continues to confront challenges in both diversity and overall staffing.
Col. Maurice “Mo” Hughes is the first Black director of the Alaska State Troopers.
Current AST director Col. Bryan Barlow will replace Morgan, with Hughes – who currently oversees troopers in Southeast Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula – moving into Barlow’s position. “Colonel Hughes is the first African American to serve as the Colonel of the Alaska State Troopers or serve above the rank of Captain,” officials said in a statement. “Colonel Hughes began his career with the Alaska State Troopers in 1990, and since his appointment, he has worked in Soldotna, Delta Junction, Kodiak, and Anchorage.”
