The Division of Alaska State Troopers is charged with
enforcement of all criminal and traffic laws of the State of Alaska. Identification and
apprehension of violators and the prevention of crimes and traffic violations are their
main tasks. The identification and apprehension of violators throughout Alaska, with an
emphasis in areas not covered by a local police unit, is the first step in the justice
process.
Other responsibilities include the management of the Village Public Safety
Officer Program, serving of warrants, transportation of prisoners, and search-and-rescue
missions. The Search-and-Rescue Fund is used by the director to reimburse local
search-and-rescue operation expenditures.
