The Alaska Association of Police Chiefs is trying to write a statewide policy manual. It says the goal is to provide police departments, big and small, consistent guidelines for use of force, equipment and vehicles.
North Pole Police Chief Steve Dutra, president of the Alaska Association of Police Chiefs, wants to develop a statewide policy manual for all Alaska police forces.
“This gives everybody a good model policy on how to conduct yourself and procedures that a small department can pull it right out of the box and put it on the shelf and use it,” Dutra said. Small Alaska towns don’t have the resources to research updates on court decisions or weapons technology, Dutra said. But once written, the Alaska-specific Police Policy Manual could be adapted to fit variously sized and outfitted departments, serving communities ranging from villages to cities.
“We’re being upfront: ‘Here’s our policies. We’ll publish ’em online, we’ll show you what we do, we have, we do use of force online, so it’s transparent,’ you know?” he said. “There’s lots of things like that that help build better relationships between the police and the community.” The conversation with Dutra last week about writing and funding the policy manual came before Memphis, Tennessee“The purpose of our project is to stop these things from happening,” Dutra said in a follow-up interview this week.

Alaska gold, copper mine blocked over environmental worriesThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took an unusually strong step Tuesday and blocked a proposed mine heralded by backers as the most significant undeveloped copper and gold resource in the world because of concerns about its environmental impact on a rich Alaska aquatic ecosystem that supports the world's largest sockeye salmon fishery. The move, cheered by Alaska Native tribes and environmentalists and condemned by some state officials and mining interests, deals a heavy blow to the proposed Pebble Mine. The intended site is in a remote area of southwest Alaska's Bristol Bay region, about 200 miles (322 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
