The northern region covers the northern part of the state,
supervising adult felons through five district offices in
Fairbanks,
Barrow,
Kotzebue, and
Nome, with a total staff compliment
of 35. The region's 22 probation officers, assisted by Criminal
Justice Technicians in Barrow, Kotzebue, Nome, and in Fairbanks,
supervise offenders and prepare presentence investigation reports
for the superior Courts in each District. The Northern Region is
geographically the largest and most remote region in the state,
requiring officers to regularly travel from their home communities
to isolated small towns and villages. These approximately 145
communities are often many miles from connecting road systems,
requiring travel by small aircraft, snow machine and boats. The
Northern Region is comparable in size to the combined square
mileage of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Montana. The
region is comprised of the Second and Fourth Judicial Districts. A
detailed description of the area can be found at each individual
district office site.
The southeastern region covers the southeastern part of the state,
supervising adult felons through district offices in
Juneau,
Sitka, and
Ketchikan, with a staff
compliment of 14. Limited road networks make supervision a
geographical challenge, the access to the towns and villages in
this area requires travel by small plane, boats, and ferries. The
area comprises the First Judicial District. A detailed description
of the area can be found at each individual district office site.
