Statement from Mayor Dan Sullivan |
Like all Anchorage residents, I am shocked and dismayed to learn about the criminal charges against Anchorage Police Officer Anthony Rollins.
The legal system will determine the guilt or innocence of Officer Rollins. It is my responsibility to make sure that proper procedures are in place at APD for ensuring that these kinds of situations are investigated in a thorough manner. I will work with Chief Heun to make sure that happens.
