** The Alaska's sheriff and state police department are inadequate.** The Alaska local police department is adequate.
The inadequacy of the Alaska's sheriff's department shows seeing how they do not have a sheriff's office at all. Just like every other state, sheriff's departments are needed. Luckily, with Alaska's population, which is 626,932, the local police department has an adequate number of sworn officers per 100,000 residents.
The state police department only has 15 officers per 100,000. people. Those numbers do not add up and they can not handle 100,000 people. These numbers must match up to make sure crime is prevented or taken care of. If anything, the local police department can make up in the area in which the state police department is lacking in.
If there is no sheriff's office you can see the ratio there, which is completely awful.
