He opined that that the police that we know need to be reimagined and held accountable to be in Alaska. He said the health and safety of patients is PPVNH's first priority whether they are in the office or elsewhere. "We know our patients of color, especially our Black and Indigenous patients, live in a society in which law enforcement disproportionately target and harass their communities," he said. He urged the dismantling of the systemic racism that permeates public institutions, including both the criminal justice system and the healthcare system. He concluded that requiring the public display the policies and procedures related to the peace officers' code of conduct helps in ensuring accountability and is a step in the right direction. 4:18:33 PM CHAIR SHOWER found no further testifiers and closed public testimony on SB 7.
