Almost 300 miles south, in the rough waters of the Gulf of Alaska, tourists flock to Kodiak, Alaska's largest island.

In Ketchikan, Troopers take all precautions when trying to catch a violent man who has outwardly expressed that he won't be going quietly. Their plan to surprise the suspect early in the morning works out to their advantage, as they are able to apprehend him before he attempts to run back into the house and grab his SKS rifle.
7 Gun N Hide
1/15/12
When troopers respond to a call regarding a discharged gun in the Mat-Su Valley, they discover a large stash of weapons hidden inside a boat. There is a good chance that the suspect is still armed and dangerous as officers venture out into the dark woods to search for him.

3/4/12
Troopers go the distance in this episode of Alaska State Troopers, taking to land, air, and snow machine to bring justice to some of Alaska's most remote locations.

About this show

They are the first line of defense on the last frontier, the roughly 400 state troopers who patrol the rugged and unforgiving terrain of Alaska. One of the toughest law enforcement agencies in the nation, these officers often travel hundreds of miles in piercing subzero temperatures, where any person they encounter could be armed.

With rare access, National Geographic follows the Alaska State Troopers capturing a mixture of raw nature and criminal activity throughout the Alaskan wilderness and its remote villages.

I liked this show and bought a couple of seasons, but I have to admit that after watching about ten episodes, they start to become redundant and begin to all look the same with just a different cast of characters. Got to had it to the wildlife troopers in particular. They have a huge territory to cover and have a very risky job. I also don't envy the cameramen who have a really tough job. Loved the episode where the perp is caught and asks who the cameramen are. The trooper replies it's the National Geographic. To which the guy says, " I don't see any bears..."

I was hooked from day one. To hear it will be no more really put a dent in my viewing schedule. Oh yes, love the scene were a guy gets a DUI and later tells the cameraman to put the camera into a dark orifice. Snicker. I lived in Canada for 20-years and feel they treat their criminal element very respectful regardless of the situation when compared to the RCMP. Yeah the lower 48 could use a few lessons.

Alaska is a beautiful place, i don't envy the troopers, they really have their work cut out for them! The"boot camp" they go threw to be troopers in Alaska, is really a smaller version of being paid badly by our government, if you get what I'm saying..the army. :-)
