Abstract:
In the rural areas of Alaska, where public safety services are provided
to isolated areas spread across vast distances, officer employment turnover
is a problem, particularly in isolated Alaska Native villages. Employment
turnover rates as high as 500 percent per year are not unheard of in some
Alaska Native village police agencies. A study of the factors associated
with attrition in rural Alaska Native villages found that officers are more
likely to remain in their positions if they are connected to the Native
culture, serve in their home village, are not the sole officer in the village,
and are married. |
