The series debuts in four Alaskan cities; Fairbanks Kodiak Kotzebue and Petersburg. The series plans to show the similarities of law enforcement in Alaska and the Lower 48. BUT, it will also highlight the differences, differences that can be huge. Producers became aware of recruitment issues in some Alaska communities. They began working with the four communities to help them make Alaska real to people, and perhaps aid recruitment of officers at the same time. The emphasis was on accurately showing what it's like to be a member of law enforcement in these Alaskan communities. This program will show the audience what it's like to ride along with officers in America's last frontier. Where police aren't just fighting crime, they're fighting wild animals, and lethally cold temperatures.
SERIES INFO Genre: Crime Stars: - Series Plot: Alaska PD brings viewers to America's Last Frontier, where the line between civilization and lawlessness can be razor thin. Chronically shorthanded police departments across the state must turn to officers from the Lower 48 to fight a soaring crime rate. For the "newbies" it is a trial by fire as they learn first-hand that policing, like everything else, is different in Alaska. In a state where guns are carried as part of everyday life, officers often have to protect an entire town by themselves while enforcing laws many are unwilling to follow. They face numerous dangers found only in Alaska, not just from people who want to be free from the rules of society, but also from encounters with predatory animals roaming through town and sub-zero conditions that can be deadly and unrelenting. The series will follow Alaska's law enforcement in Fairbanks, Kodiak, Kotzebue and Petersburg.
