Alaska association of chiefs of police (aacop) and the alaska municipal league (AML) desire to partner with a qualified company to provide a standardized policy manual that would be a reliable foundation for all alaskan police agencies, leaders, and communities, to assist with the smartest and safest decisions possible while considering the unique needs and circumstances of individual communities. We propose an alaska-specific police policy manual written and deployed in our communities for approximately $550,000.00. This grouped approach and implementation represents a savings of $550,000, which makes IT a much more affordable proposition than if each police department or community took this on individually. Once this policy is built, every department can adapt IT for their specific jurisdiction and application. The base model, then, can still be responsive to local needs and authorities, even as IT improves overall our delivery of public safety. This request includes funding for training and outreach to communities. The entire process will include collaboration with the alaska police standards council and the department of public safety, to ensure appropriate state input and engagement, resulting in the strengthening of our public safety system. AML will administer the grant on behalf of aacop, and be the project manager for delivery, in its role to assist the aacop and member jurisdictions.
