As a CJT2 you will have full proficiency in chain of custody duties.

Our mission is public safety – preserve the peace, enforce the law, prevent and detect crime and protect life and property. All positions within the Alaska State Troopers support or carry out this mission. While the commissioned Troopers are on the front lines, the civilian staff work just as hard ensuring everything behind the scenes runs smoothly and maintains the necessary integrity.

We are the backbone of our team and value attention to detail, accuracy, integrity, timeliness and thoroughness of work, as well as dedication to the mission of D Detachment and DPS.

You will enjoy many benefits by joining our team:
As a member of one of the most unique law enforcement agencies in the nation, you will be part of a team that embraces the core values of loyalty, integrity, courage, compassion, leadership and accountability.

Troopers in this small office value the CJT2 and the support this position provides, which is demonstrated by the team's shared camaraderie and mutual respect. Serving as the hub for Tok Post, the CJT2 is often the first point of contact for the public as well as the “go-to‑” person for the Tok troopers.

In addition to working in a valued and meaningful position, this State of Alaska CJT2 receives competitive health and retirement benefits, paid personal leave with generous leave accrual, and twelve (12) paid holidays.

Co-located with DMV at 1314 Alaska Highway, the Tok Trooper Post has a private entrance for employees. The CJT2’s desk is in an open area behind the public counter, near the sergeant’s office and trooper’s squad room but separated from the prisoner holding cells.
