How to Contact the North Pole Police Department or Its Chief of Police

Updated

The North Pole Police Department's website states that you can contact the Chief of Police or one of the department's officers directly with questions or feedback. Chief Jedediah Smith says so explicitly in his message on the site: "Feel free to contact me or one of our officers with any questions or feedback." The site itself is the starting point — it does not publish a phone number, email address, or mailing address in the material available here, so you will need to look for a contact page or contact details on the website itself.

What the Department Says About Contacting It

The Chief's message is the clearest invitation to get in touch. Two points stand out:

  • The Chief welcomes direct contact. Smith writes that he is "dedicated to strengthening our bond with the North Pole community and Alaska at large by providing reliable and responsive police services," and invites questions or feedback to himself or any officer.
  • The department frames contact as part of its service mission. Its stated mission is to "protect our community with courage and integrity, serving alongside residents," which is consistent with the open invitation in the Chief's message.

How to Find the Actual Contact Details

Because the excerpt available here does not list a phone number, email, or address, use the website to locate them:

  1. Open the department's website at northpolepolice.org.
  2. Look for a Contact page or a contact section — this is where police departments typically list a non-emergency phone number, email, mailing address, and sometimes a form.
  3. If you want to reach the Chief specifically, check whether the contact page lists him by name or provides a general department address you can direct to his attention.
  4. For non-urgent questions or feedback, the general department contact is usually the right first step; the Chief's message suggests he reads messages directed to him.

Before You Reach Out

  • Emergencies: Contacting the department through its website is not a substitute for emergency services. The site material does not describe emergency procedures, so use standard emergency numbers for anything urgent.
  • What to include: If you are writing with a question or feedback, stating your name, the nature of your question, and how you would like to be reached makes a reply easier.
  • What the site does not tell you: Response times, hours, and whether a contact form exists are not covered in the available material. Check the website directly for current details.

Urgent matters Use emergency services, not the website

The department's stated pillars — integrity, courage, honor, and respect — frame how it describes its service, and the Chief's message is the site's explicit invitation to make contact. The specific channel is something you will confirm on the website itself.
