VPSO Program

The Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) program, supported by Kawerak, is dedicated to protecting our tribal communities.
Our team is comprised of dedicated individuals who are committed to building relationships in the villages we serve. It’s our community too; as locals we want the best for our villages and neighbors.

Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) Program is a community public safety and law enforcement service. In addition to law enforcement, VPSO’s also provide search & rescue, fire prevention & protection, emergency medical services, probation & parole and the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in their communities.

We understand the unique challenges of rural living and the importance of timely responses. With state training, EMT certifications, and over 40 years of experience, we are equipped to handle emergencies effectively.

If it is an emergency and you cannot get a hold of the VPSO, please call the Alaska State Troopers at 1-800-443-2835 or 1-800-764-5525.
