PROVIDING ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SAFETY SUPPORT
The Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) Program provides essential public safety support services to the communities of Akhiok, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, and Port Lions. With the presence of a VPSO, residents can rely on immediate response to emergencies, eliminating delays caused by weather or distance.
Our VPSOs, work in close collaboration with the Alaska State Troopers to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities. A VPSOs role encompasses a wide range of critical responsibilities, including emergency medical response, search and rescue operations, fire prevention and suppression, disaster preparedness and response, public safety education, and community policing.
The VPSO Program understands the unique challenges and needs of our villages. We are dedicated to ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of all residents. Together with our community partners, we strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive.
