After 30 years of service to the State, Colonel Barry Wilson is retiring as Director for the Alaska State Troopers.

Filling his boots will be Colonel Bryan W. Barlow who is no stranger to the last frontier. Col. Barlow began his career with the Alaska State Troopers over 20 years ago. He patrolled in Fairbanks, Ninilchik, Ketchikan, and Girdwood as well as Interior villages.

As for Col. Wilson, during his time with the Troopers there was little he didn’t do. He worked patrol, conducted investigations, helped with coordinating search-and-rescues, and mentoring other troopers throughout the department.

“I want to thank Colonel Wilson for his dedicated service to all Alaskans,” said Commissioner Price. “It was an honor to have Col. Wilson on my team. I also want to thank Col. Barlow for accepting to take the helm of the Alaska State Troopers and all the responsibilities that come with the job.”
