The Alaska Justice Information Center (AJiC) administered the Alaska Police-Public Contact Survey (AK-PPCS) in the Spring/Summer of 2022.
The AK-PPCS asked Alaskan adult residents to describe their encounters with the police in the last 12 months, including encounter outcomes, general attitudes, and perceptions of Alaska police. The aim of the AK-PPCS was to develop Alaska-specific estimates of Alaska residents who came into contact with the police each year.

The Alaska Justice Information Center (AJiC) administered the Alaska Police—Public Contact Survey (PPCS) from May 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. The primary aims of the PPCS were to develop an Alaska-specific estimate of adult Alaskans who came into contact with police in the preceding 12 months, to describe the nature and outcomes of police—public encounters, and to assess the attitudes and perceptions of adult Alaskans as they pertain to police. The Alaska PPCS survey instrument was developed using modified versions of survey questions included in the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Police-Public Contact Survey, which is the primary data source for police—public contacts in the United States.
