Western Alaska Alcohol and Narcotics Team
(WAANT)
This team's primary area of responsibility is Alaska's west coast, to include: Kotzebue, Nome, Bethel, Dillingham and the Aleutian Chain. The WAANT consists of one AST sergeant, two AST investigators, one AST Criminal Justice Technician and one soldier from National Guard Counter Drug Support Program in Anchorage; three AST investigators and one local police officer in Bethel; one AST investigator in Nome, one AST investigator and one local police officer in Dillingham and one AST investigator and a local police officer in Kotzebue.
One of the positions in Bethel and one in Anchorage are dedicated specifically to alcohol interdiction and investigations.
Due to the vast number of local option communities in Western Alaska, a significant portion of this team's focus is on alcohol enforcement. They target smugglers and bootleggers through undercover operations and interdictions.
