Capt. Cornelius"Moose" Sims is standing at the Alaska Bureau of Investigations Headquarters on Jan. 28, 2025. Sims commands the statewide Drug Enforcement Unit

He said Alaska has limited resources to intercept drugs; only 27 state troopers are focused on drug seizures in the field. But he said because the state is part of a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force, they can collaborate with federal partners.
