State wildlife trooper Trent Chwialkowski will leave Haines before summer for a post in Cantwell, Alaska.
“No decision or change has been made in regards to the Haines Alaska Wildlife Trooper post,” said Department of Public Safety spokesperson Megan Peters. “At present, all one-man trooper posts are being analyzed.”
A “blue shirt” trooper position in Haines was eliminated in 2017, when state budget cuts moved the position to Bethel, an area with increasing felony crimes.
