Northern Region Probation Services Locations

 

Walter Evans, Regional Probation Supervisor

With Fairbanks at its hub, the Northern region encompasses an area approximately the size of the State of Minnesota. Outside of Fairbanks, the region has four district offices – Barrow, Kotzebue, Nome and Bethel – and ranges South to Cantwell, East to the Canadian border, and North and West to the Arctic and Bering seas. While serving the largely Caucasian population of Fairbanks, the region also serves much of Alaska’s Athabaskan, Yupik and Inupiat people.

Though the Northern Region’s vast distances make it especially difficult to serve, additional staff funded through the JAIBG program have helped address the strain. One of these positions was assigned to Bethel where a staff of three now serves the 56 villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. In Nome, an additional JAIBG JPO helps cover that area’s 15 villages. Both Kotzebue and Barrow each still have only one JPO and cover the remaining villages in the Northwest Arctic and North Slope Boroughs.

Eighteen of the emerging community and youth courts are found in this region which continues to set the pace for meeting the Division’s Balanced and Restorative Justice goals.
