Division of Alaska Wildlife Troopers

Protectors of People and Resources​

News & Highlighted Links

The primary mission of the Division of Alaska Wildlife Troopers is to protect Alaska's Natural Resources through the enforcement of wildlife statutes and regulations.

Wildlife troopers in Alaska enforce all laws. In addition to the missions of the Alaska Wildlife Troopers, we respond to search and rescues, investigate major crimes, including homicides, and enforce traffic laws.  Many AWT locations are rural, and the wildlife trooper is often the only law enforcement officer at these posts.
