Alaska State Troopers
Alaska State Troopers is an American documentary television series. The show largely follows the daily beats of various bureaus of the Alaska State Troopers. In addition, the show includes portions that follow village public safety officers from tiny rural villages as well as cops from other cities such as Wasilla, Palmer, Anchorage, and Soldotna. The show recounts the exploits of several officers from different parts of the state. James and Anne Sears, Howie Peterson, Jon Simeon and Brent Johnson, Scott Quist, Odean Hall, Lonny Piscoya, Luis Nieves, Dan Dahl, Rick Roberts, Abraham Garcia, Dan Cox, Gabe Rich, Jonathan Stroebele, Joshua Varys, Daron Cooper, Lance Ewers, and Kamau Leigh are among the troopers featured in the show. A litter of Blue Heeler puppies was abandoned at a Kentucky dog shelter in 2011. The two males were given the names "Trooper Dan Dahl" and "Trooper Howie Peterson" after the show's Troopers. The female dogs were named after Troopers Aileen Witrosky, Amy Bowen, and Anne Sears, who had all appeared on the show.
