CIVIC SERVICES REGISTER

Nome Census Area Sheriff Non-Emergency Number

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

Covering authority

Alaska State Troopers, C Detachment (published coverage: Western Alaska & Kodiak Island), Nome Post. The same directory lists a further C Detachment post inside this census area at Unalakleet. The Nome Police Department serves the City of Nome, and Village Public Safety Officers serve villages under the state VPSO program.
