The Hoonah Department of Public Safety - Police Services (HPD) is the only municipal police agency on Chichagof Island in Southeast Alaska. It is a full-service municipal police department for the City of Hoonah, an Alaskan First-Class City of 875 residents. HPD also provides police protection to surrounding areas on the local road system and operates a short-term detention facility. The department has a unique badge, with a standing brown bear and the city's seal on its chest. The department also has a distinct shoulder patch depicting an erect grizzly bear, the Pacific ocean, and snowcapped mountains, along with totem images from Tlingit culture. ==History and Structure== The department was first established in the 1940s, during World War II. It grew over the years from a part-time Chief to up to five officers during the logging era which peaked in the late 1980s. The Department has a Director of Public Safety/Police Chief, three paid officers and two reserve officers. Civilian employees include a full-time Administrative Assistant and Supervising 911 Dispatcher, two full-time 911 dispatchers, several part-time 911 dispatchers. All dispatchers also serve as jail guards as needed. Dispatch is manned around the clock and also dispatches for all divisions of Hoonah Public Safety (Police, EMS, & Fire). HPD Reserve police officers serve as needed to supplement the full-time staff and during special or emergency events. HPD has a computer terminal link to the Alaska Public Safety Information Network (APSIN), Alaska's arm of the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The population of Hoonah typically swells to over 1400 in warm weather months (May through September) with the arrival of commercial and recreational fishermen, recreational boaters, hikers, hunters, seasonal construction workers, and cruise ship passengers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hoonah Police Department」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
