In communities associated with a VPSO program, citizens receive immediate response to emergencies without delays caused by weather or distance. VPSOs work closely with Alaska State Troopers, and provide emergency medical response, search and rescue operations, fire prevention and suppression, disaster preparedness and response, public safety education, and community policing.
A VPSO is generally the first to respond to many calls for help from community members; hence their motto, “First Responders‐Last Frontier”.

Alaska Native people continue to be impacted with the highest rate of violence than any other race in America and the issues of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons continues to be a priority for TCC and its Tribes.
Indigenous persons experience disproportionately high rates of violence, and, relatedly, are reported missing or are murdered at high rates. Alaska Natives experience disproportionate rates of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes, according to the Indian Law and Order Commission’s 2013 report.
