Commissioner Price will largely focus her talk on issues surrounding domestic violence and the services the Department of Public Safety (DPS) provides, not only through a law enforcement response but through providing victims services across Alaska and in Anchorage.
The Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA) partners with agencies across the state to address the multi-faceted issues that victims and survivors navigate after abuse takes place. The DPS, through the CDVSA, additionally provides prevention programs for a variety of ages. The CDVSA is communicating with shelter and services programs across the state on their unique needs in their area. The DPS continues to foster partnerships with a variety of agencies to continue a high-level response, especially in the time of COVID when many victims are likely isolated at home with their abuser.
Commissioner Price will take questions on this topic as well as other initiatives that the audience is interested in hearing about.
PLUS, a member presentation by Jason Hodges, Executive Director of the Anchorage Concert Association.
Commissioner Amanda Price is a lifelong-Alaskan from a law enforcement family who brings two decades of experience in government affairs, fiscal operation, and organization management. Commissioner Price served as the Senior Advisor on Crime Policy and Prevention to Governor Bill Walker, during which she uncovered a trend of unsubmitted, untested sexual assault kits. She worked with statewide law enforcement to understand the scope of the problem, secured federal funding, and proposed legislation to improve the state’s response to sexual assaults, which led to a significant movement underway in Alaska. Prior to her time in Governor Walker’s Office, Price served as the Executive Director of Standing Together Against Rape (STAR), the only statewide, standalone rape crisis center in Alaska. In that role, she worked laterally with the Special Victims and Crimes Against Children Units of the Anchorage Police Department, as well as the Alaska Bureau of Investigation to effectively respond to sexual assaults in a victim-centered manner, improving investigatory capacity and success rates in the criminal justice process. During her tenure at STAR, Price also developed, hosted, and facilitated a bi-partisan multi-state summit to address violence in the military in response to the National Guard sexual assault allegations. Commissioner Price has served on the National Criminal Justice Association (member), the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (Finance Committee Chair, Legislative Committee member), the Anchorage Child Abuse Caucus (member), the Governor’s Criminal Justice Data Initiative (member), and the Municipality of Anchorage Housing and Neighborhood Development Oversight Committee.
