David Atteberry, Tanana Chiefs Conference’s (TCC) Public Safety Manager, has been appointed by Governor Dunleavy to the administration’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Review Commission.
Formed earlier this year, the nine-member commission reviews unsolved MMIP cases and reports findings to the Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Alaska State Legislature. Additionally, the MMIP Review Commission analyzes trends and establishes policy, practice, and service recommendations before reporting to the DPS.
“I am honored to accept this appointment to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Review Commission,” says Atteberry. “This is an issue that deeply impacts our communities, and I’m committed to working collaboratively to bring attention, accountability, and solutions to the crisis.”
The commission also includes members from victims’ advocacy as well as other Alaska Native Tribal organizations.
TCC is grateful for the additional support that Indigenous communities will receive in solving the cases of our missing and murdered loved ones and remains positive that the addition of Sergeant Atteberry will bring answers to those in our region who are still seeking answers.
