After a series of shootings, police continue to say community policing could be the solution to lowering Anchorage’s crime rates. An approach, they say, over time will eliminate criminal activity throughout the city. But the question many are asking is: Where is the proof this concept will actually work?

In what’s so far been a year of unsolved shootings where multiple suspects are still on the loose, many are pointing to the lack of Anchorage police as the reason why. It’s a problem city officials say has nothing to do with the number of officers, but in how the department is using them.
