Alaska State Troopers - Season 1 - Eps 3: Alaskan Justice
In the Alaskan outback, alcohol abuse is devastating communities and sending crime rates through the roof. Enforcing the law in this vast and nearly road-less region presents extreme challenges. The jail is located over a hundred miles from some of the native Alaskan villages where crimes are committed, and its the job of the State Troopers to haul suspects in. But in a world almost empty of roads, the job requires risky plane flights and boat trips for Troopers traveling alone with potentially dangerous offenders. Once in jail, untested inmates must defend themselves against tougher and more aggressive convicts, while guards strive to keep homemade alcohol out of the jail so that mayhem doesnt prevail.

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.
