Alaska State Troopers - Season 1 - Eps 1: Ice Patrol
At the 2009 Arctic Man Ski and Sno-Go Classic--Alaskas version of Mardi Gras--troopers face a massive law enforcement challenge as roughly 10,000 people celebrate and snowmachine enthusiasts test their skills. The races and parties last for 4 days in the remote Hoodoo Mountains, and its up to just 13 Alaska State Troopers to keep the peace, enforce the laws, and perform dangerous search and rescue missions. Then in Fairbanks, troopers fight crime and undergo a nighttime training exercise while another trooper and his K-9 partner search a suspicious vehicle. And wildlife troopers have their hands full during the moose hunting season: theyre on the case when several illegally killed animals are discovered.

Synopsis
They are the first line of defense on the last frontier, the roughly 400 state troopers who patrol the rugged and unforgiving terrain of America’s largest state — Alaska. One of the toughest law enforcement agencies in the nation, these officers often travel hundreds of miles in piercing subzero temperatures to uphold the law. Responding by land, air and sea — with backup sometimes days away — they face danger to protect the people and wildlife of Alaska.
