flag Alaska and Anchorage launch public safety partnership to reduce crime, focusing on violent offenses and prosecution.

flag Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy and Anchorage officials announced a new public safety partnership targeting crime in the city, citing Anchorage’s disproportionate share of state violent crimes in 2024, including over half of murders and robberies. flag While Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case acknowledged the city’s challenges, he disputed the governor’s data as oversimplified. flag The initiative, set to launch by spring pending confirmation of Attorney General-designee Stephen Cox, focuses on tackling quality-of-life crimes, improving prosecution of violent offenses like sexual assault, and strengthening drug interdiction at ports and airports. flag The state will train municipal prosecutors, enable cross-designation of prosecutors, and support grand jury processes to streamline justice outcomes.
