Alaska PD is a series that debuts in four Alaskan cities: Fairbanks, Kodiak, Kotzebue, and Petersburg. The series aims to showcase the similarities and differences of law enforcement in Alaska compared to the Lower 48.
Producers of the show became aware of recruitment issues in some Alaska communities and decided to work with the four communities to help make Alaska real to people and potentially aid in the recruitment of officers. The focus is on accurately portraying what it's like to be a member of law enforcement in these Alaskan communities.
This program will give the audience a glimpse of what it's like to ride along with officers in America's last frontier, where police not only fight crime but also face challenges such as wild animals and lethally cold temperatures.
