Bethel Census Area Sheriff Non-Emergency Number

Alaska has no county sheriff; the Bethel post of the Alaska State Troopers is the law-enforcement agency serving Bethel Census Area.

If this is an emergency, dial 9-1-1. The line below is a non-emergency business line.
No sheriff’s office exists for this jurisdiction. Alaska seats this function elsewhere. Under the register’s inheritance rule the covering authority is recorded by name rather than a substitute invented for the county model.
