The Alaska Public Safety Employees Association is a not-for-profit
corporation that has effectively represented Alaska law enforcement
personnel in a variety of labor and employment matters at
the State and municipal levels since 1978. In addition, PSEA
asserts itself in other issues that have a direct impact on
public safety services. We are not affiliated with any state,
national or international unions; we are an independent union
that formulates our own policy through a Corporation Board
of Directors. Advising the corporate board are separate Chapter
Boards representing Airport Police & Fire Officers, Municipal
Public Safety, and State Law Enforcement Officers. Each chapter
has representatives on the Corporation Board.
PSEA only represents law enforcement professionals. Our membership
includes: State Troopers; State Fish and Wildlife Protection
Troopers; Airport Police and Fire Officers at the Anchorage
and Fairbanks International Airports; Court Service Officers;
Deputy Fire Marshals; Police Department Employees of the City
and Borough of Juneau; Public Safety Employees of the City
of Unalaska; Rural Public Safety Officers; Police Department
Employees of the City and Borough of Sitka; Police Department
Employees of the City of Fairbanks; Police Department Employees
of the City of Ketchikan; and, Police Department Employees
of the City of Soldotna.
Our members are consummate professionals who take great
pride in providing the essential and nonduplicative government
services upon which the public depends. You will encounter
PSEA members throughout the State of Alaska - from its busiest
airports to its streets and highways, from the turbulent high
seas to the State's quiet streams and isolated trails, in
4 of the State's 5 largest cities.
Some of the specialized duties performed by our members include
criminal investigations, highway safety, commercial vehicle
code enforcement, execution of warrants and criminal defendant
transport & custody, search and rescue services, airport
safety and security, terrorist detection and apprehension,
aircraft rescue, fire fighting, inmate incarceration, care
and transportation, arson investigation, game law enforcement
and resource preservation, as well as the well-recognized
and traditional law enforcement functions.
The Public Safety Employees Association is presently
staffed by a Business Manager, a General Counsel, a
Bookkeeper, and an Office Administrator. They are here to serve our members by
providing a knowledgeable resource and corps of advocates
for employment related issues.
