Juneau Police Department Mission Statement

In partnership with the people of Juneau, our mission is to make our city a place where people can live safely and without fear.

 

Welcome to the Juneau Police Department Website!

Juneau is Alaska's capital city. It is located in the "panhandle" of Southeast Alaska and is approximately 500 miles southeast of Anchorage and 900 miles north of Seattle. Juneau is accessible only by air and sea. The economy is based largely on government and tourism. Juneau provides a safe and healthy family environment. We are situated in a maritime rainforest that abounds with stunning scenery and many recreational opportunities including hunting, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, biking, kayaking and wildlife viewing.

The Juneau Police Department provides general police services to the citizens of Juneau, Alaska covering an area of 3,081 square miles and a population nearing 31,000. The department consists of 2 divisions: Administrative Support Services and Operations. Within these divisions, there are 5 units: Patrol, Investigations, Community Service, Records and Dispatch. Due to our isolated geographic location, we are required to remain self-sufficient. Therefore, the department also maintains specialized teams in SWAT, Bomb Disposal and Hostage Negotiation. We strive to provide regular and current training for our staff in order to maintain the highest quality of services to Juneau residents. We operate from a modern facility that includes a computerized dispatch center and records department.
