Speaker 2:It doesn't sound right.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So keep going.
Speaker 2:Alright. Well, we got a couple of people here today. We got Wade Bryson. He's here to help us, and we have the chief of police. And he is here today to answer a few community questions and talk about national night out.
Speaker 2:He and then a bunch of other officers are getting together on August 4, and they will be showing the community amazing time. So that is what's going on. We will be taking calls. I wanted to let people know what's going on today. We got a lot of stuff that we need to take care of today.
Speaker 2:One of the emails that came in today is c n CNN's travel. They got everybody all the best towns in The United States, and they picked Juneau, Alaska as number seven. So Juneau, Alaska is number seven, thanks to their wildlife, seafood, and unique culture. So we are still working with these things. We're gonna try and take a real quick phone call.
Speaker 2:Okay. That call is gone because of the technical difficulties that we have. Hold on for just a second. You're on Problem Corner. Can you hear me?
Speaker 4:Yeah. I can hear you.
Speaker 2:Alright. How are you doing? Welcome to Problem Corner.
Speaker 4:Well, I have

Speaker 2:We got the portable, line for $40, Sam and Tess line for $40, and the tow line for $30, and we will get his, phone number shortly. Alright. So we're gonna, tap into speaking with the chief about the national night out. How are you doing, chief foes?
Speaker 5:I'm doing great. Thanks. It's good to be here.
Speaker 2:It's good to have you here. Can I I got this thing? Can I just say, I just wanna call you Popo? Can I call you Popo?
Speaker 5:I've been called worse.
Speaker 2:I don't have nothing bad to tell you.
Speaker 5:Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2:So what's up with the National Night Out? Could you give us a little information about that?
Speaker 5:Absolutely. National Night Out is an annual event. It's across The United States on the first Tuesday of August. So this year it lands on August 4 from six to 8PM at Twin Lakes Park. And we changed kind of how we do business last year.
Speaker 5:In years prior, we used to have several little neighborhood gatherings, neighborhood block parties and we would try to make it to all those different block parties. And we found two big conflicts with that. One is the gloff, which happens to usually be early August. And the other one is we just don't have time to make it to each of the block parties and really invest in meeting people, having conversations and building relationships. So we've shifted back to how most agencies are doing it as just one location.
Speaker 5:We pick a location away from the Glough area, so we're not impacted or in the neighborhoods trying to do a block party right in the middle of flood prep and just have all kinds of partners coming. This year we have live music, we have Coast Guard, we have CCFR. I think we have 20 plus other partner agencies, community member groups coming. So it should be a good time.
Speaker 2:Yes. I'm I'm looking forward to it. I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna do a couple of songs, so I'm very excited.
Speaker 5:I've never heard you sing, so I'm looking forward to that too.
Speaker 2:Don't don't don't don't don't challenge me. I I because I sing right now. But I'm very happy to be a part of that. I'm kinda curious. What are JPD's priorities as of right now?
Speaker 2:What is the the thing that's on their list?
Speaker 5:You know, I would I would break it down into kind of three categories. Think one, and probably the most important to me, is just continuing to build our great relationship with our community. We have strong relationships with different groups in the community, different individuals in our community, and we want to continue to grow and enhance those. Two is obviously crime prevention. For us, a good day is when there is no crime.
Speaker 5:So anything we can do to help minimize or prevent crime. And then three is obviously, you know, holding people accountable when they do commit crimes and making sure that we are doing justice by our citizens and justice by those who we are investigating. We want to do things right for our community.
Speaker 2:Fair enough. How about your staffing? How's the staffing going?
Speaker 5:You know, we are essentially maintaining the status quo, which means we have quite a few vacancies. We have about 11 patrol vacancies. We have several civilian positions, dispatch records and evidence. And I just want to add a couple of things there. There are many people that I talk to who are interested in working in law enforcement, but they don't want to be an officer.
Speaker 5:And for those people, we have many different options in quite a bit of variety. So dispatch, you know, they are true first responders. They're the ones answering the calls when people call 911. They're the first ears on scene, the first point of communication there. So that definitely is something that people don't think about, but is a great career path if you're interested in any kind of law enforcement.
Speaker 2:Do you guys have health insurance?
Speaker 5:We have health insurance. We have a great retirement. We have sign on bonuses for some of the different positions. Some positions we offer relocation assistance as well. So, yeah, full benefit package with some perks.
Speaker 2:Oh, man. That sounds like a good job.
Speaker 5:I think it is.
Speaker 2:I I'm not gonna argue with it. But, I'm going to see if we can take some calls from the, the public. Are you ready, officer I mean, chief?
Speaker 5:I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Alright. Let's anybody, please give me a call at (907) 586-1800 if you have any calls for the chief or email any information you wanna give to us at air@kinyradio.com. Again, you are on k I n y. Alright. We got a call coming in.
Speaker 2:You're live on Problem Corner. Welcome.
Speaker 6:Hello. Hi. Good morning. I'm
Speaker 7:I'm just calling to let you know that your microphone is really, really low compared to the chief of police and the commercials and stuff. It's really hard to hear you on the radio.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We got something hard going. We got something going on. But thank you. Thank you so much for letting me know.
Speaker 6:Okay. Have a good day.
Speaker 2:You too. Alright. Again, please feel free to call (907) 586-1800. If you have any community questions for chief Bowes, you can give us a call. If you wanna send in some of the information that you have about events or anything that you have to sell.
Speaker 2:(907) 586-1800. Air@kinyradio.com. Alright. Come on. Give us some calls.
Speaker 2:We are going to just go ahead with some questions then. So, how is JPD balancing enforcement with support for issues like homelessness and substance abuse? We got a call coming in. I'm a take it. Welcome to KINY.
Speaker 2:You're on the air live.
Speaker 6:Hey. What's up, buttercup?
Speaker 2:What's up? How are you doing? You got any questions for us today, or you have anything that you wanna sell?
Speaker 6:What's what's the meaning of life? No. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:The meaning of life. Be rich like Wade. That's the meaning of life.
Speaker 7:Oh, man.
Speaker 2:That's a
Speaker 7:tough one
Speaker 6:for me.
Speaker 2:Wade just shaking his head.
Speaker 6:I you guys are on the air, obviously, but I can't get you guys on my phone or my radio.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We're seeming to have some difficulties that are being worked on right now as you speak, sir.
Speaker 6:Okay. Because I'm going through withdrawals here.
Speaker 2:You're going through withdrawals? Verbal. Oh, don't talk about that right now. Don't talk about rides right now. Don't be going through no withdrawals.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm a let you know. Thank you for your call. Alright. So where was I? I was asking you some questions.
Speaker 5:Yes, sir.
Speaker 2:Sir, so do you remember the question oh, yes. How does the department handle support issues like homelessness and substance abuse?
Speaker 5:So I think starting out when we encounter homeless people or low income individuals who are struggling, our goal is always to connect them with resources in the community. To that end, we connect folks with the Navigator program at Vincent de Paul. The Glory Hall also has a Navigator program. We have many resources. You know, it might be in the moment they just need some sobriety assistance.
Speaker 5:So we have the sleep off option through cares. So really, really the approach is always to connect them with a long term solution. Now granted, there are times where enforcement is the right approach. That's what we need to address with to resolve an immediate problem. But again, the end goal is always connecting people with resources so we can find a long term solution.
Speaker 2:That sounds pretty good. You I know that you're you're seriously out there advocating for the homeless and stuff like that, so I wanna give you props for that. I see you doing a lot of things that help the community. I wanna also give you props for that.
Speaker 5:Thank you.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. Every you seem like a you seem like a good guy, brother.
Speaker 5:I appreciate that. Thank you.
Speaker 2:Well, I think I'm just gonna ask one more question. If anybody wants to have has a question for the chief, please call (907) 586-1800 or send me a email, air@kinyradio.com. So I guess this is my last question for you. How can residents get involved with neighborhood events or form watch groups that coordinate with JPD?
Speaker 5:We are kind of a bigger answer to your question. We are right in the middle of redoing our website, trying to do a massive upgrade there. And so I would say watch our website in the next few months to see new things popping up. New opportunities should have a whole new look to it. But as we are doing that, we are pushing most of our information out on Facebook.
Speaker 5:We do have a few community watch groups throughout the Juneau area, but not that many. So if there is interest, definitely just reach out directly to JPD. And you can do that either by calling us or checking on our website and emailing us. And they got jobs over there? That's right.
Speaker 2:If you're ready, do right and go down there and help the JPD, go on down there, put in your application, and help the community. We got one call that I'm a take right now. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live on the air.
Speaker 7:Well, good morning.
Speaker 2:Good morning to you.
Speaker 7:Hey. Hey, chief. I have a question for you. Now last year about this time, maybe late June there, I had my my pickup truck stolen. And, of course, with the with the Juno Collective there, we are able to honor where that and, of course, we arrest you you folks that arrested the the folks in the the pickup truck, and this is out there on the Lena Point area.
Speaker 7:But the questions that I wanted to ask me, I would've wanted to prosecute these guys, these these people, tweakers, if you wanna call them that. And, of course, they were well known to the police department or are well known. And they said they'll get ahold of me about when they're gonna have some type of trial or whatever, the boat. That never happened. And so if it's been dropped, you think I would've got some type of reply from the DA or whatever it may be, or just anywhere in the department saying, hey.
Speaker 7:They're not gonna you gotta do your own criminal prosecution. Not criminal, but whatever. So if it's civil prosecution of these people, is is that the normal that you don't hear anything from them or does it take more than a year to get it resolved?
Speaker 5:It it does take a very long time sometimes for these cases to go through the court process. So as they're working through the process, the district attorney is the one that you should be talking to and asking questions of the case status. We don't always even know just because we're not involved directly in every step of the court proceedings, but I would encourage you to reach out to the district attorney and just ask some follow-up questions.
Speaker 2:Alright. We got one more question here.
Speaker 3:Oh, I guess nobody there. Hey, Lance. Can I jump in here while we're Sure? Just on this side of the break? It sounds like my mic is working.
Speaker 3:We're gonna find out why What's up, Lance? Mike here in just a minute. Okay. But chief, here's a question. Out of all of our all police departments that you're aware of, Juno's number of police officers that live in the community that they police, what is Juneau's percentage versus percentage of law depart or law police departments down south?
Speaker 3:What what maybe are some of the unique differences for JPD?
Speaker 5:Well, we are 100. Everybody who works for JPD lives in Juneau. Part of that is because we have no other options. But to be honest with you, I love how it is. You know, it's great to police the community you live in.
Speaker 5:We have relationships with people both on and off duty, which really helps strengthen our community and strengthen our relationships with our department. I don't want to speak about departments down south because I don't know the actual numbers, but it is far more common to live in a different community than where you work.
Speaker 3:Wow. So that's a maybe a common practice down south, but in Juneau, it just you're gonna live in Juneau. That's correct. Work in Juneau.
Speaker 5:That's right. That's right.
Speaker 3:Alright. That is gonna be a unique thing. Are there any other, like, unique Juneau Police Department things like that because we're in our little fishbowl here?
Speaker 5:I guess just kind of piggybacking off of that, I think we have a higher standard for our officers and all of our staff because no matter what we're doing on and off duty, people know who we are and they're watching. So when we go through hiring, we have a higher hiring standard, if you can say that fast, because we want quality people and we want people who are interacting with community in positive manners on and off duty in everything they do.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's excellent. Alright. I appreciate that answer. I may have heard some of those details before, but I think that's an important factor for the community to understand is that if you're down south, you're not with them. Alright.
Speaker 3:You got Lance, you got a
Speaker 5:call? Let's see what they're doing.
Speaker 4:Alright.
Speaker 2:Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live on the air.
Speaker 6:Yeah. My name is Mel. And, yeah, you're coming in on the phone very faint.
Speaker 2:Yes. I understand. Okay.
Speaker 3:We're working on it, Mel.
Speaker 2:We're working on it,
Speaker 6:Mel. Okay.
Speaker 2:Was that it now?
Speaker 6:I I I wanna thank the chief, and I also have an echo my echo coming through.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We're we're working with the technical problem.
Speaker 6:Giving you all this information so you can correct it. I wanna thank the chief for coming to senior luncheon and talking about scams. Mhmm. And, again, I on my phone right now, I I have Verizon, and I have AT and T. I never had Verizon.
Speaker 6:Alright. And they want over 500, almost $600 in in in late fees.
Speaker 2:Okay, sir.
Speaker 6:And they're going to
Speaker 2:have to let
Speaker 6:you know. Gotta against me because and it sounds very legit, but and something like PayPal, it's so obvious.
Speaker 3:And get it, Mel. I'm totally on the same page with you. The more legit they make it sound, the more realistic it appears to you. That's what the scammers are counting on. So you being on top of chief coming to speak with you, that's exactly how, community stops scamming the seniors.
Speaker 3:So thanks for keeping your eyes out on it, Mel.
Speaker 2:Thank you, Mel. Alright. And with that, I think we're gonna let the chief go. Chief got busy, busy, busy things to do. So thank you so much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, chief. We really appreciate you coming in.
Speaker 2:Thank you for coming down.
Speaker 5:Yeah. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2:Hopefully, you'll come back again and I will see you. You can tell me how I sing on August 4.
Speaker 5:I'm looking forward to it, so thank you much.
Speaker 2:Thank you much.
Speaker 3:Alright. We're gonna go to a commercial break right now. Lance will be right back with more Problem Corner on KINY.
Speaker 1:This is where Juno comes to listen. K KINY, local owned and operated. KINY, the news you need, the music you love.
Speaker 8:And Alaska First Media radio station.
Speaker 9:ABC News.
Speaker 8:I'm Michelle France, and gas prices in The US showing a little decline after president Trump backed away from hitting Iran hard with strikes over the weekend. Maritime traffic, though, still stalled in the Strait Of Hormuz for oil and goods. Patrick Dahan of GasBuddy tells ABC News that the market remains volatile due to refinery issues in The Gulf and the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 10:Gasoline and diesel only down 2 or 3¢. That's only about a 2% drop, and part of the reason for that is that refining continues to be impacted. So while the price of oil is down significantly, the price of what comes out of a refinery is down nowhere nearly as significant, and that's something to keep an eye on here that even if there is deescalation between The US and Iran, if no new tax emerge, we're still looking at Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia.
Speaker 8:Along the border of Spain and France, evacuations continue as crews battle wildfires whipped up by dry and hot conditions and winds. The fires now blamed for at least one death in Spain. This is ABC News.

Speaker 22:How I found out about him because I also work for Lasserine Highway. I'm retired now. But he had his train displayed in the library here in the valley. So I'm only looking for him. I'm not looking for just anyone.
Speaker 3:Do you know his name?
Speaker 22:One young man, he never even heard of g scale. So no. Just this one young man.

Sounds like this lady might have some, g scale model trains for you. 7239710. 7239710. Give them a shout, or you can call us and we will tell everybody who had the trains.
Speaker 3:Alright. Give it a whirl. Just try one more time.

Speaker 3:No. No. We cannot. Alright. So go ahead.
Speaker 3:You got another call there, Lance?
Speaker 2:No. Alright.
Speaker 3:586-1800. Man, I almost didn't come in, thought Lance got it. I don't need to come and help Lance out. Why would I need to come and help Lance? Because Lance didn't have a hammer for the computer yet.
Speaker 3:Computer and I had come to an agreement that it would just cooperate for the one hour a day for me, and if it was gonna break down, it was gonna be right after Problem Corner. Alright. No calls. You got any emails there, Lance? Any texts?
Speaker 3:I yes.
Speaker 2:Is there a we have a a question. Is there a loitering law for downtown such as large groups of homeless?
Speaker 3:Is there a loitering law downtown for such things as large groups? Go ahead and answer that call, and then we can get back to that question. Good morning. Welcome to Problem Corner. You're live and on the air.
Speaker 6:Hey. Good morning.
Speaker 3:Morning.
Speaker 7:I was trying to hop on while the police was on, but I missed it. Who's the new police, sir? Who's the police chief these days in Juneau?
Speaker 3:Chief boss is our chief. He's been the chief around two years, and he came from Colorado. I think it's he interviewed and went through the process. There were, I think, four candidates or three candidates at one period at one point, including the now deputy chief of police, Craig Campbell. He was also in that that round of applications.
Speaker 7:Okay. Yeah. I I just wanted to ask if, you know, the the incident that happened a couple years ago with the two individuals on the city bus, if they were gonna look, you know, further into background checks for hiring police officers. Yes.
Speaker 3:That's actually one of the details that he pointed out is that they do have a higher standard because every single one of those police officers lives and works in Juneau. And he he didn't wanna generalize, but that's more of a trend to not work in the community that you live in. Yeah.
Speaker 7:I I live, you know, I'm I'm not a Juneau resident. I'm a former Juneau resident. I live in one of the smaller communities in the inside passage. But, yeah, I I just, you know, wanted to I don't know if I I guess comment or questions. But yeah.
Speaker 7:Cool.
Speaker 15:One thing
Speaker 3:I could share with you the one thing that I've always sensed about this chief is that his first thought is to the community. Every time I've chatted with him, that's the perspective he comes from. How does the community view what we're doing, and are we policing up to the standard that our community expects? Whether it was this half hour in the radio station or half hour on the public testimony stand. I mean, that's that's just my how I sense the chief to be, and I I think that's a great type of chief.
Speaker 3:And then here's the other detail I wanna tell everybody that they can't see. The chief of police was in his police uniform. He looked like a patrol driving white or silver car driving patrol officer because he's a police officer first. So those are the kind of things that I've just the details I've appreciated about this chief. Our last g four is uniform too.
Speaker 3:I should include that.
Speaker 7:That's great. You know, the they interact with communities, you know, on and off duty is is pretty pretty good in my opinion.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. I've got a Yep. A one of my neighbors is friends with a few officers, and so there have been at least a couple of parties on my block where there are probably just, like, four cops there, all in street clothes, all having a good time. Right on. Hey.
Speaker 3:Thanks a lot for the call, sir. Alright. 586-1800. You can ask some questions here as Justin and just they don't have a large enough hammer. That's all I can say.
Speaker 3:Just smash it. They they can't there's somebody hit a button somewhere and nobody knows where. Alright. 586-1800. Lance, what question were you asking me before?
Speaker 3:We were talking about something. Oh, they asked the question. What was the question on the on there?
Speaker 2:Oh, thank you. You. About what their loss for large groups of loitering.
Speaker 3:The assembly tried to have a no loitering law. We did that when the Glory Hall first became a started having issues with non Glory Hall patrons hanging out at the Glory Hall. And it became more and more of a problem, and, there were, just several legal issues. So the assembly asked legal, the CBJ law, to come up with a no loitering law. And it was just not a remember in the city, city can't take even a slight amount of liability, so they erred on the side of where this probably isn't legal.
Speaker 3:What if you're just standing on the sidewalk? What if you and your kid are just standing there, you're taking a break from walking? How is that different than somebody standing on a sidewalk in a different part of town? And that really became the sticking point of why the assembly didn't have an anti loitering law. They saw more of a violation than a tool that would have helped the glory hall kinda control the the different things that are coming to him.
Speaker 3:You got something, Lance?
Speaker 2:Yes. You don't
Speaker 3:have a mic, but what do you got? Tell me, and I'll tell everybody.
