The Division of Alaska State Troopers has started a Citizen Academy Program. The program is designed to enhance citizen awareness of the role of the Alaska State Troopers (AST) within your community. The role of troopers has always been of interest to the average citizen. The television media has capitalized upon this curiosity with shows such as “Cops”, “America's Most Wanted”, “Stories of the Highway Patrol”, “CSI” and specifically the more recent documentary/reality television episodes about our Alaska State Troopers.

Each week, real police action is broadcast into the living rooms of millions of Americans. This often spreads misinterpretation of law enforcement to citizens across the country. Our AST program is based on Citizen Police Academy programs being formed by police agencies all over America.
