“It is now to a point where local media outlets are not even reporting on these incidents. And just this morning, I learned about an incident in Oregon for instance, where a federal building had been breached. In the process, there was an assault on federal law enforcement officers.”Alaska State Troopers: 2026 Alaska Police Memorial Day Ceremony · Jun 24, 2026

“I went back to my office, excuse me, and I actively searched for some information about that assault, something that had occurred right after the incident. And there was but a blip of information from the local media outlets, something that I didn't hear about until this morning that happened in January of this year. Yet actual shootouts and violent altercations between citizens and law enforcement have become standard fare. And while we are distanced from the rest of the country, we're not immune to some of these same problems that are affecting the lower 48. My office has seen several instances and are regularly receiving information with respect to resisting arrest.”Alaska State Troopers: 2026 Alaska Police Memorial Day Ceremony · Jun 24, 2026

Felon is not supposed to possess firearm on the streets of Alaska. Something that we deal with pretty much on a daily basis in the federal system. Officers arrived and attempted to disarm that individual.”Alaska State Troopers: 2026 Alaska Police Memorial Day Ceremony · Jun 24, 2026
