Work Group's Assignment:
|
|
|
|
|
"The working group, in coordination with all
|
|
|
|
|
stakeholders, will provide options for the
|
|
|
|
|
legislature to consider to structurally revamp
|
|
|
|
|
the VPSO program during the 2020 legislative
|
|
|
|
|
session. The solutions will primarily address
|
|
|
|
|
the core problem of increasing the number of
|
|
|
|
|
Village Police Safety Officers available to
|
|
|
|
|
communities. It will address other fundamental
|
|
|
|
|
issues such as: inequity in pay, lack of
|
|
|
|
|
housing, officer safety, low morale, and
|
|
|
|
|
inability to generate more interest from
|
|
|
|
|
applicants in rural Alaska, and the role of
|
|
|
|
|
Alaska Native Tribes as a possible solution will
|
|
|
|
|
be considered."
