The Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) program provides rural Alaskan communities with public safety support services.
In communities associated with the program, citizens receive immediate response to emergencies
without delays caused by weather or distance. VPSO work closely with Alaska State Troopers,
and provide emergency medical response, search and rescue operations, fi re prevention and
suppression, disaster preparedness and response, public safety education, and community policing.
A VPSO is generally the first to respond to many calls for help from community members; hence
their motto, “First Responders-Last Frontier”.
