"state troopers"

Gov. Bill Walker said losing recruits or longtime troopers to other law enforcement agencies means wasting the money spent training them.

State troopers say an officer was responding to a report of a probation violation. They say the 42-year-old suspect attacked and incapacitated the responding trooper.

Alaska State Troopers and Fairbanks Police exchanged fire with two men following a vehicle chase on the city’s south side this Wednesday morning. A driver was killed and a passenger injured.
