Alaska Provincial Rangers

The Alaska Provincial Rangers (APR) is the provincial police of the Canadian province of Alaska. Headquartered in the capital of Juneau, the Alaska Provincial Rangers consists of a total of 6727 personnel: 4478 sworn constables and 2249 civilian staff. The largest of the APR's 55 stations and primary centre of operations is Anchorage Station, although Juneau Station is home to the Chief Constable and where the politics are.

Although the Alaska Rangers are the primary law enforcement agency in Alaska, responsible for providing policing at the local and provincial level throughout the province's communities, the service also has a large division dedicated to search and rescue missions throughout the province's massive natural landscape, hence the name Rangers. The Alaska Provincial Rangers' Chief Constable answers to the Attorney General of Alaska via the Alaska Provincial Police and Crime Commissioner.

The Alaska Sheriff Service is responsible for operating all jails in the province, serving warrants, providing security to provincial courthouses and transporting detainees between jail, court and other institutions. The Alaska Correctional Service operates all provincial (non-federal) prisons and other long-term detention institutions in the province. These two agencies are answerable to the Solicitor General of Alaska, the primary deputy of the Attorney General.
