This session’s students come from all over Alaska and the Lower 48 including Ohio, Oklahoma and Washington. The class speaker is Erich Reed with the North Slope Borough Police Department.
The ceremony brings the total number of academy graduates to 375 since August 2001. Graduates from the program have gone on to become Park Rangers, Alaska State Troopers, Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement, pipeline security, private security and police officers.
