Chapter IIIResponse and Recommendations
A. IntroductionChapter III. Response and RecommendationsIn the course of taking testimony around Alaska, the Commissioners heard frommany rural residents. Based on the testimony, the Commissioners’ collective expertiseand the invaluable product of the working groups, numerous recommendations emergedto address the issues the Commission was charged to explore. The recommendations fitinto nine broad themes:1. Engaging in more partnering and collaboration.2. Making systemic changes to improve rural law enforcement.3. Enlarging use of community-based solutions.4. Broadening the use of prevention approaches.5. Broadening the use of therapeutic approaches.6. Increasing the employment of rural residents in law enforcement and judicialservices.7. Building additional capacity.8. Increasing access to judicial services.9. Expanding the use of new technologies.During the course of its proceedings, the Commission became acutely aware of itsresource and time limitations as well as the importance of continuing the dialog amongjustice stakeholders to further develop its recommendations; the need for additionalresearch, including monitored pilot projects; and the need to encourage and monitorprogress on implementing its recommendations. To make progress on all of itsrecommendations, the Commission asks that Congress extend this Commission orauthorize the creation of a successor commission to oversee implementation ofrecommendations contained in this report. 55 The Commission, through staff andappropriate working groups, would meet regularly to analyze problems and proposesolutions, foster intergovernmental communications and reduce barriers to cooperationand collaboration.The Commission’s tasks would include such responsibilities as:• Developing a statewide, uniform, and tiered system of certification and trainingfor police and public safety officers with a reasonable opportunity foradvancement that could culminate in qualifications to seek full APSC policeofficer certification;• Developing a template cross-deputization agreement between the State and tribesthat can be used as a basis for individually negotiated agreements; and55Recommendation 1. For example, the Alaska Telehealth Advisory Commission, created by Congress in1998. It was, at its sunset, transformed into the Alaska Telehealth Advisory Council. It continues tomeet today and has grown in its ability to ensure that telehealth in Alaska is developed in a systematicway, meeting the policies and procedures established by that Commission and serving both rural andurban Alaska.
