Presentation
Update on the Police Department

Biography

Ankerfelt joined the Sitka police force as a Lieutenant in June of 2014. Prior to coming to Sitka, he was the Deputy Police Chief of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Ankerfelt is also a graduate of the 221st Session of the FBI National Academy.
The Sitka Police Department has also changed its mission statement– with a focus on crime prevention – and identified four areas where it wants to improve. Ankerfelt said, “We’re going to be working really hard on community engagement. So being out in the community. Participating in events and actually hosting some of our own. In fact, we’re in the process of planning “coffee and donuts with a cop.” It will be bi-monthly event that we’ll probably have at Centennial Hall where people can come over and chat with us. We’re going to be focusing on problem solving, so when we do have a 911 call, we’re going to take a look at it and look at ways to prevent bad things from happening in the future.”
​Ankerfelt added that the third and fourth areas for the focus are organization development and customer service. “We have a lot of fantastic staff here. We need to strengthen our skills. We’re also looking at, in the long term, improving our physical plant here. It’s not very effective. The building needs some work. And then just customer service. There’s nothing more powerful than anybody leaving an exchange with the police, feeling like it was a rewarding experience.”
