 Dillingham Police Department
The Dillingham Police Department was formed in 1971 when Dillingham became a first-class city. In the beginning there was just one full-time officer.
The City of Dillingham has a year round resident population of approximately 2300 people and a transient population adding between 5000 and 8000 people to the local population during the peak fisheries months from May through August. The Dillingham Police Department Dispatch Center is the public safety answering point for the northern Bristol Bay and 38 surrounding communities. In addition to dispatching police patrol officers the Dispatch Center handles communications for the Dillingham Volunteer Fire Department & Emergency Medical Services, the Dillingham Harbor staff, and the Dilingham Post of the Alaska State Troopers/Fish & Wildlife Protection.
The Dillingham Police Department's patrol staff is composed of a patrol sergeant and six full-time APSC certified police officers. Each police officer is assigned and develops unique areas of expertise in addition to his or her general patrol and investigation duties. Most officers have a "Special Police Commission" issued by the State of Alaska, Commissioner of the Department Public Safety, which empowers Dillingham police officers with arrest authority outside the Dillingham city limits when assisting, or acting on behalf of, the Alaska State Troopers.
The Dillingham Police Department is the only law enforcement organization fully staffed and operating on a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week basis between the 59th and 63rd parallels, to the north and south, and between Anchorage and Bethel, AK, or an area roughly the size of the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut combined.
The Dillingham Department of Public Safety also operates a State of Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles office within the Public Safety building, located on D Street. This office is a full-service DMV office and is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed holidays.
