PUBLIC SAFETY FORUM
June 20, 2019
Council Members present: Squires, McClure, Towsley, Seese, Osenga
Excused: Lane
Welcome
• Scott Meszaros, City Manager
• Please submit questions in writing tonight, or following the meeting via email to GeNeil
Flaherty at gflaherty(jicityofseward.net
House Bill 49 (Handout provided)
• Anmei Goldsmith, Attorney at Birch Horton Bittner& Cherot
• HB 49 has been signed in both houses; it is currently with the governor who has 20 days
to consider it and sign it into law
• Changes will go into effect in a staggered fashion—parts will start in July, 2019, others in
September, 2019, and the remainder in 2020
• The net result will be that people stay in jail longer
Opioid Litl ag tlon (Handout provided)
• Anmei Goldsmith, Attorney at Birch Horton Bittner& Cherot
• State of Alaska vs. Purdue Pharma, et al is a civil suit that started two years ago; it is still
in the discovery phase
• The state is trying to recover some money from the manufacturers and distributors so
they can use the money to address the problems created by the drugs (i.e., treatments,
etc.)
Alaska State Troopers
• Sgt. Benjamin Endres, Alaska State Troopers
• Seward has been short-staffed for troopers for the past ten years; there have been ongoing
recruitment and retention efforts throughout
• In July, 2019, there will be a 4th trooper coming to Seward; this will make Seward "fully
staffed"
• Seward troopers are responsible for all search & rescue operations from Seward to
Flattop, and over to Cooper Landing
• Seward troopers are responsible for the highway from Seward to Cooper Landing, and to
north of Girdwood where the Anchorage PD takes over
• Trooper Joselin has a K9 in Seward; K9s are trained for marijuana detection; current K9
will retire later this year and Trooper Joselin will receive a new K9
• The troopers appreciate getting tips; they have to make sure to act/respond in accordance
with the Constitution and laws
• All requests for patrols and reports of incidents are handled on a prioritized basis
• There is no third shift scheduled for troopers in Seward, but there is always one trooper
on stand by
Seward Police Department
• Lt. Alan Nickell, Seward Police Department
• There is a burglary problem in Seward:
0 2015 = 9 burglaries
0 2016 =4 burglaries (this is when SB 91 went into effect)
0 2017 = 13 burglaries
0 2018 = 22 burglaries
o YTD 2019 = 11 burglaries
• Were these burglaries related to drug use? Yes, all but one can be linked directly to drug
use
• Did these burglaries lead to convictions? Yes, more than half did
• How can citizens help stem burglaries?
o Lock up your stuff—cars, sheds, houses, bikes, etc.
o Use a surveillance system — doorbell cameras and other devices are getting more
and more affordable, and they are proving to be a strong deterrent
o Be a good witness — take a moment to try to calm down enough to be observant;
try to identify distinguishing marks or characteristics that are unique
■ On people, look for hair color, height, scars, tattoos, glasses, shoes
■ On vehicles, look for rust, dents, bumper stickers
• Neighborhood Watch Programs work well, but require people to be committed and
diligent (Handout provided)
o The Seward Police Department will work with any group to support a program
Providence Seward Medical Center
• Robert Rang, Hospital Administrator
• Opioid visits are increasing year over year (Handout provided)
• Alcohol visits remain steady at approximately 10 visits/month (Handout provided)
Seward Community Health Center
• Craig Ambrostani, CEO
• Of the 2,000 patients seen each year:
0 17-22 have substance abuse disorders
0 30-40 have alcohol related disorders
0 20% do not have a 99664 zip code
• Advice on medications:
o Don't dispose of medications by throwing in the trash or flushing down the
sink/toilet; bring them to Seward Police Department
o Secure prescription drugs somewhere other than the medicine cabinet in your
bathroom
Safe Safe Safe
• Amanda McKinley, Public Health Nurse
• She comes to Seward twice per month
• Safe Safe Safe is a Kenai Peninsula Borough Campaign to promote safe use, storage, and
disposal of drugs:
o Safe Use: use as directed; keep meds in original containers
o Safe Storage: store meds securely, not in the medicine cabinet
o Safe Disposal: use medicine disposal bags, or bring meds to Seward Police
Department
• Opioids are often stolen from home medicine cabinets by friends and family members
• Signs of opioid overdoes include sleepiness, pinpoint irises, paleness
• Narcan nasal spray is available free of charge from the Northstar Clinic, Seward
Community Health Center, and from the Public Health Nurse
o Narcan will not stop an addiction, but it can save a life
• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) can lead to long-term health problems and high-
risk behaviors
o Seward Prevention Coalition is addressing this issues by offering resiliency
training
Seaview Community Services
• Tommy Glanton, Behavioral Health Director
• Seaview treats about 80 people per year who have behavioral health issues
• Addiction is a chronic and relapsing disease
• Why don't some people seek local treatment? 75% say they don't want other people to
know; the social stigma associated with getting treatment is enough to stop them
• Part of the treatment method Seaview uses involves getting people "connected" with the
community so they don't feel so alone
• Seaview has in-patient housing for up to ten people in Seward
• When someone is motivated to seek treatment, act quickly while they're motivated;
chances of success are higher
• The Seward Prevention Coalition is focusing efforts on ACES and the Icelandic Model
• Alaska has high youth use rates, and it's rising
o In Seward, there are only 1-2 youths accessing treatment at Seaview, but there are
many more out there who need help
0 95% of the people being treated at Seaview are locals

Neighborhood Watch participants learn:
How to make their homes less inviting as a target for thieves at no cost by
having a home inspection to make their homes more secure.
How to participate in Operation Identification, making their personal property
more difficult for burglars to dispose of.
How to be more aware of Suspicious behaviors and how to take appropriate
action.
Now to report the incident to the Anchorage Police Department.
How to start a Neighborhood fhlborlhood atch
Step 't.
Contact your neighbors and see what the expressed level of interest is. We have
brochures that we can email or mail you to help introduce and explain the
program, You may contact Officer Natasha Welch at " 'g ,. 5 5 or n.ccw-@rt).mfrml�mtg
to request materials. Find out what night of the week would work best for the
majority of your group.
Step 2.
Decide on the boundaries of your Neighborhood Watch. Will it be a city block, a
condo association or half of a long street' Croup size should be kept within
manageable limits, A useful rule of thumb is when it comes down to making
phone calls, or ringing doorbells, no one should be responsible for more than 20
homes.. All participants should be able to clearly sae each others homes. beep
the group small and manageable.
Step
Call the Neighborhood "Latch office at 7 a- 585 and schedule an Introduction
Presentation with the staff, We are available Tuesday through Friday from 2pm
until 12am. A 7pm start time has historically worked well for most working
families. The presentation is about an hour lore and may be longer with
questions. The staff will provide your group with a crime map detailing the past
years worth of reported crime in your groups area.
Step 4.
Hold the presentation. Choose a meeting place that is handy, to your area. A
presentation held in the home of a participant usually draws the best turnout
versus one that is held at a location participants have to drive to.
