Anchorage Police - 100 Years of Detective Service - Alaska

Detective services celebrated 100 years of service in 2015. The police department was established later and had this anniversary in 2021. The Anchorage Police Department (APD) is the police department serving the Municipality of Anchorage in Alaska. APD is responsible for police services for the entirety of the Municipality of Anchorage, including the communities of Eagle River, Chugiak, and the native village of Eklutna to the north, and communities of Indian, Portage and Rainbow to the south (the only exception of the small community of Girdwood which receives police service from the Whittier Police Department). Serving Alaska's largest city, APD is the only "metropolitan" agency, and is the largest municipal police force in Alaska.
