AACOP is made up of dedicated professionals from all corners of Alaska’s law enforcement community—united by a shared commitment to serve, protect, and support one another.

In a state as vast and diverse as Alaska, collaboration is key. Many of our communities operate with limited resources and unique challenges, but together, we find solutions, share expertise, and build a stronger foundation for public safety statewide.

The Alaska Association of Chiefs of Police (AACOP) is a statewide organization dedicated to advancing professional policing and public safety. Since 1956, AACOP has brought together law enforcement leaders and professionals to collaborate on best practices, legislative advocacy, and training that supports agencies of all sizes.

Through active committees and partnerships, AACOP helps shape policy, share resources, and strengthen connections—especially in rural and remote communities. From guiding legislation to co-hosting Alaska’s Executive Development Conference, AACOP exists to elevate the profession and support those who serve.

AACOP is committed to raising the standard of law enforcement leadership across Alaska. Through mentorship, training, and peer-to-peer support, we help public safety professionals strengthen their skills, grow as leaders, and better serve their communities.

We provide members with tools, resources, and a statewide network of experienced professionals. AACOP also actively monitors legislation and advocates on behalf of Alaska’s law enforcement community to ensure our collective voice is heard where it matters most.
