Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, with a population of about 300,000, accounting for over 40% of the total population of Alaska.
Moreover, due to its vast and abundant resources, the people here generally do not like to crowd together, so Anchorage has developed over the past hundred years like a pancake, from a coastal town to a large, loosely formed town consisting of one community after another, covering an area of nearly 5,000 square kilometers.
The law enforcement here is quite weak, as the whole state of Alaska has only 1,300 police officers, though Anchorage does have 270 detectives handling criminal cases.
The most elite special response team, SETR, even consists of volunteers from among the state police.
Here, the per capita civilian gun ownership is the highest in the world, making the local customs very tough...
However, it's strange that once you leave Anchorage, life is quite peaceful in other regions of Alaska.
