JUNEAU, Alaska Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has appointed James “Jim” Cockrell to lead the Department of Public Safety.
Cockrell replaces Amanda Price, who in February said she was asked to resign by Dunleavy’s then-chief of staff and told Dunleavy wanted “to go in a different direction” with the department.
Price said she believed she was removed for advocating for improved 911 dispatch services to rural communities and for a personnel decision she said she was limited in discussing.
Dunleavy said Tuesday he doesn’t discuss personnel issues. He said his administration was “committed to making sure that individual Alaskans are able to access 911 service.”
