Police Frequently Asked Questions

All tickets must be paid either at the Palmer Courthouse Clerk's Office, located at 435 S. Denali St. in Palmer, or you may be able to pay it online at http://courtrecords.alaska.gov/ep/

Bring your bike to PPD; the Administrative Assistant will have the registration forms and identification stickers for each bike.  The Palmer Police Department does not guarantee that if your bike is stolen or lost it will be recovered by filling out and submitting the registration.  No program guarantees a 100% recovery rate.  This is just one of the tools we use to assist owners in getting their property back.  A good number of citizens that report stolen bikes each year do not have the serial number or good identifying information.  Registering your bike not only ensures this information is known but is properly recorded as well.  It is beneficial for owners to keep a copy of this information for their own records.  The PPD encourages citizens to utilize bike locks or secure their bikes in some other way to deter theft.

State law requires all passenger vehicles allow at least 70% light through the windshield and front side windows.  The rear window and rear side windows must allow at least 40% of the light through.  Violation of this carries a $150 fine.

As always, in case of an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Note: Most of the following information was taken directly from the Alaska Court System website. If a person has stalked or sexually assaulted you, or you have been involved in a Domestic Violence incident, you can ask the court to order the person to stay away from you and not contact you. A request for a “protective order” is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. If you want the stalker or assailant to be prosecuted criminally, you need to report the incident(s) to the police.

The first step is to complete the necessary paperwork, which can be found at the courthouse or online at https://akcipowizard.truefiling.com/(link is external) if the occurrence is a Domestic Violence situation or http://www.courts.alaska.gov/forms/civ-752.pdf(link is external) if it is stalking or sexual assault in nature.

Use the Stalking or Sexual Assault Protective Order Packet if the person you want protection from is a friend, student at the same school you attend, neighbor, co-worker, a landlord or tenant, or someone you do not know. You should fill out a Domestic Violence Petition (DV-100) if the stalker or assailant is your spouse or former spouse, parent, grandparent, your child, grandchild, brother or sister, your first cousin, aunt or uncle, nephew or niece, someone who you presently or previously had a dating or sexual relationship with, current or former roommate, or a person related or formerly related to you by marriage (for example a stepparent, stepchild).

Do not give out any personal information over the internet to anyone as legitimate companies will not ask for it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is illegal.
