Juneau Police Department Mission Statement

In partnership with the people of Juneau, our mission is to make our city a place where people can live safely and without fear.

The department provides general police services to the City and Borough of Juneau, covering an area of 3,081 square miles and a population of approximately 32,000. The department consists of 2 divisions: Operations and Police Services. Within these divisions, there are 5 primary units: Patrol, Criminal Investigations, Community Service, Records, and Communications.  Due to Juneau's isolated geographic location, JPD is required to remain self-sufficient.  Therefore, the department also maintains specialized teams in SWAT, Bomb Squad, and Crisis Negotiations. JPD strives to provide regular and current training to all staff and operates from a modern facility that includes an up-to-date computerized dispatch center and records unit.  Patrol officers operate with up-to-date fleet, which are equipped with in-car video and mobile data terminals.  Officers wear body-worn cameras.

For applicants who are veterans seeking to utilize their GI Bill® benefits, the Juneau Police Department is an approved employer for the VA’s On-the-Job training program for the position of Police Officer. "GI Bill®" is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
