Alaska PD

Severe understaffing at Fairbanks PD puts added pressure on those who put their lives on the line every day. For Officers Gerrit Butler, Andrew Wixon and Chris Zenyuch, new recruits are the help they desperately need. However, can the rookies make it in the risky business of Alaska policing?

The officers of Fairbanks PD must deal with extreme weather, and even more extreme people, during one of the coldest winters on record. New transplant Ofc. Cody Taylor has to acclimate to the various challenges of policing Alaska when it’s 40 below. Ofc. Andrew Wixon is used to the Fairbanks freeze, but the frigid temperatures add an extra layer of danger to all calls, and he must take drastic action to stop a domestic violence crime–before it’s too late.

In the rough and tumble world of Fairbanks, baby-faced Trevor Norris must survive the new recruit training to become an Alaskan police officer. 46-year-old rookie, Stefanie Jones, brings life experience to policing in the remote town of Kotzebue. But can she meet the physical demands of the job?
