Police K-9 Purchased to Reduce Drugs in TCC Communities

May 01, 2018

In February, TCC joined the Interior Villages Against Meth initiative, set forth by Kelly Fields of Fort Yukon to bring more K-9 drug detection dogs to interior police agencies, in an effort to combat the growing drug epidemic in Alaska.

Since partnering with Kelly, TCC has assisted her project through working with the Alaska State Troopers on purchasing a Belgian Malinois dual purpose dog. In April, the Alaska State Troopers purchased Naja, a two and a half year old K9, for Fairbanks based D Detachment drug unit trooper investigator. The K9 will be stationed at the Fairbanks post and will serve Interior Alaska. Naja and her trooper handler will be going through training together this spring and will begin working early summer. TCC will be working with AST and keeping our tribes informed on the K9 and its training.

May Is National Stroke Awareness Month

April 30, 2018

May is National Stroke Awareness Month and all of us at Tanana Chiefs Conference want to provide you with some great educational materials that could SAVE YOUR LIFE. Understanding why strokes occur, what causes them, and how to prevent them are incredibly important. Stroke causes more than 133,000 deaths annually, an alarming number considering 80% of strokes are PREVENTABLE, mainly by monitoring your blood pressure.

If you are worried about your blood pressure or want to know more about your risk of stroke, make an appointment with your provider.
