| Report |
Darryl Wood, Assistant Professor with the Justice Center at the University
of Alaska Anchorage, has received a grant of $50,000 from the National Institute
of Justice to study the issue of attrition within the Village Public Safety
Officer (VPSO) program. The program, which currently provides policing and
other public safety services to 85 Alaska Native villages, has suffered
from a high rate of attrition since its inception. Wood will examine the
extent of turnover in the VPSO program and seek to identify why former officers
left their positions as well as why current VPSOs continue. The study will
begin this summer and continue through early 1999. |
