Monitoring such communications can give valuable information to law enforcement officers to help defuse potentially dangerous situations. This bill provides the exemption necessary for law enforcement officers to surreptitiously monitor these communications. It allows the interception of communications of a suspect barricaded and refusing to surrender, holding a victim hostage, or threatening the imminent illegal use of an explosive. The exemption in the bill is limited to serious police emergencies; it will not otherwise affect the privacy of individual Alaskans. This legislation will support law enforcement agencies in making Alaska a safer place for our citizens. I urge your prompt consideration and passage of this bill.
