By Victoria Taylor: APD looks at drones to add eyes to the sky in certain investigations
Ryan Marlow with Alaska Aerial Media says the state has a solid set of laws in place to honor privacy.

“Alaska has amazing privacy guidelines. So with that we have House Bill 255,which basically stops the use of systems unless it’s required by criminal activity or a warrant or any of the other items that fall under hot pursuit and that’s the state law,” he said.

The Anchorage Assembly is developing a subcommittee to focus on developing municipal ordinances to address drone use.

At just 11 years old, Meriweather says he chose to join a new family through adoption, and that’s why now, the 26-year-old works with youth programs to spread his success story.

“There is nothing anybody in that cage can do to me that’s more painful than what I went through as a child,” said Meriweather.

Residents living within fire service areas pay for fire services through property taxes. “It’s about $2.8 million so, it’s roughly $850 on about a $350,000 home,” LeBlanc said. Those living outside the boundaries do not pay.

Municipal code requires property owners outside the service areas to pay a $500 fee for the first hour of response for fire services. An additional $100 is then added per hour for each piece of equipment being used.

By Beth Verge: Tips from police: missing persons reports do’s and don’ts
For example, your loved one doesn’t have to have been missing for 24 hours in order for you to report the case. In fact, sooner is usually better than later.

If someone has seemingly gone missing, you should take the time to call jails, hospitals, friends, and family, and check their residence and workplace, too. However, Oistad said, if there could be foul play – for example, if the person is in an abusive relationship or has special medical needs – you should call APD immediately.

Current photos and details about the person can help authorities as well. And no matter the situation, you can take some comfort in the fact that missing people across Alaska are listed in a statewide database, which means anyone in law enforcement is alerted to the missing, no matter the location.
