Attendees at the meeting:
Sgt. French of the Alaska State Troopers
He informed us that there are up to 5 Troopers on duty at any one time, if there is no training going on, sick calls,
serious incidents occurring. This means their responce time can be 30 minutes for a non injury crime The Troopers
will be building a sub-station on Pittman road soon, which will help keep a trooper nearer to us. Of high importance
was his mentioning of the Alaska Statutes 11.81.300 that cover justification and defense. He recommends you read this so that
your aware of your rights and responsibilities prior to use of force. There are civil liabilities that could cause you
to lose a large amount of money, or your home!
Questions raised were about juveniles being released after numerous crimes, what can we do. Also how can we prevent some
of the racing teenagers on four wheelers, snow machines, etc. The homeowners President stated this is covered in the homeowners
by-laws and that the drivers must be licensed!
