“I think the biggest challenge is, right now, is just establishing trust throughout the whole community,” Chief Michael Kerle said. “... We need to get the national narrative about police and policing, and we need to look at it at more of a local level.”
Kerle sat for an interview with several Anchorage news outlets on Monday, answering questions about the biggest challenges facing the community right now.
“We can’t do it alone, we need the community,” Kerle said. “We’re members of the community, we represent the community and I want enhanced representation from our community members on our police department, and I will do everything I can to go out there and find out what the concerns are about the police department. I will address those concerns based on the facts that are presented to me.”
