ANCHORAGE (AP) â The Anchorage Police Department will have its first ever Black chief of police when Kenneth McCoy starts next Monday.
McCoy, currently the deputy chief of police, replaces Justin Doll, who will be on leave until he officially retires over the summer. For an announcement like this to be made during our 100th year, that our first African American chief is going to be at the helm, is very humbling and meaningful to me, and to my family, to this community, McCoy said. And I think it serves as a sign of hope that, you know, we can come together and we can heal and we can make positive change.
