“Their dedication did depend— did not depend on jurisdiction, badge, department, or uniform. They serve one mission: to protect the people of this great state of Alaska. And today we stand united, honor that service. And it's just as important to recognize the families of the fallen here today. Please know that you have my deepest sympathies.”

Their dedication did depend— did not depend on jurisdiction, badge, department, or uniform. They serve one mission: to protect the people of this great state of Alaska, to protect the innocent from the wicked, to hold those that have victimized Alaskans accountable, and to protect our resources. And today we stand united, honor that service. And it's just as important to recognize the families of the fallen here today. Please know that you have my deepest sympathies.
