Officer Tracy Murphy talks to a citizen in Downtown <strong>Juneau</strong>.<br />

Since JPD‟s first days, <strong>of</strong>ficers have “walked a beat” in the downtown district <strong>of</strong> <strong>Juneau</strong>. <strong>Juneau</strong>‟s<br />

first flatfoot, Daniel Kennedy was given a dual task in 1896 to keep an eye on the <strong>City</strong> for<br />

incidents <strong>of</strong> disorder <strong>and</strong> for fires during the hours <strong>of</strong> darkness.<br />

<strong>Juneau</strong>‟s downtown business district shares the <strong>City</strong>‟s Gastineau Channel waterfront with the<br />

cruise ship lines who bring nearly a million visitors to <strong>Juneau</strong> each year during the summer<br />

months. Providing police services downtown in the summertime stretches JPD‟s resources.<br />

But the reserve <strong>of</strong>ficers in JPD‟s PRO program who support Officer Tracy Murphy who is assigned<br />

to “walk the beat” the year round, are up to the task.<br />
