Performance Detail
A: Result -Highway safety. |
A1: Core Service - Highway safety. |
Target #1: 10% reduction from the previous three-year average of driving under the influence (DUI) fatalities.
This table shows motor vehicle crashes within the Alaska State Troopers patrol area. Statewide data from the Alaska Highway Safety Office (DOT/PF) were reported in prior years. These data are reported on a calendar-year basis. Calendar year information is reported to allow for greater accuracy in the data collected due to incident closure time frames. *In 2016 it was discovered that the grid used in previous budget submissions (see below) contained only the number for crashes that included an impaired driver when that person was charged with DUI. The grid was subsequently updated to include incidents where drivers were impaired but not charged. An example would be where a single vehicle crash occurred and the driver was found to be impaired. We believe that the grid above more accurately shows the connection between impairment and fatal crashes. Related links: Target Last Modified: 11/03/2023 |
B: Result -Law enforcement patrol and investigations. |
Target #1: 35% of property crimes reported result in the identification of a suspect or offender..
AST reports the number of property crimes within their primary jurisdiction. Property crimes include offenses such as burglary, theft, and criminal mischief. These data include attempted and unfounded burglaries, since they often require the same amount of investigative time to reach an appropriate conclusion. This metric was initially developed in FY2009 and modified in FY2014 to include theft and criminal mischief offenses to better reflect the results of ASTs efforts. Calendar year information is reported to allow for greater accuracy in the data collected due to incident closure time frames. Related links: Target Last Modified: 11/03/2023 |

C: Result -Rural Law Enforcement. |
C1: Core Service - Provide additional rural law enforcement training. |
Target #1: Increase by 5% over the previous year the number of training hours provided to Village Public Safety Officers and other rural law enforcement personnel..
All training is designed to improve the rural law enforcement skills and public safety capabilities of these first responders. Continued decentralization of training has increased the variety and frequency of training courses. In FY21, nine VPSO received VPSO certification training, 19 VPSO received rural fire protection specialist training. 25 VPO attended the two sessions of VPO academy in Bethel, sponsored by the Alaska Police Standards Council. 404 additional hours of training were completed by VPSO during the year under the annual VPSO program grants. The additional hours of training provided to VPSO included: Reid Interviewing and Interrogation (40 hours), Verbal De-escalation (4 hours), hunter safety instructor (8 hours), brown bear abatement training (4 hours), rural resiliency workshop (4 hours), Basic Life Support and Emergency Trauma Technician (24 hours), and various online public safety training courses.
