DPS is considering a move that would extend policing powers to Chickaloon Tribal officersSUTTON, Alaska - The Alaska Department of Public Safety is considering a move that would allow Chickaloon Tribal Police Department officers to extend their authority in the Chickaloon census area, which includes Sutton, by granting “limited special commissions” to members of their law enforcement.
Special commissioned officers, however, would not be allowed to enforce traffic violations, such as speeding, driving under the influence, and vehicle pursuits, according to DPS.
