Quoted:
I am a police officer in Texas currently. I need any job leads in Alaska. Highway patrol is doing year round recruiting, but I don't want to accept an offer and then wind up assigned north of Fairbanks.

By highway patrol do you mean the Alaska State Troopers? They are extremely hard up for recruits; 40% of their force is set to retire over the next few years. You could also look at Fish & Wildlife enforcement. As for slipping right into a position in Kenai quickly, I don't know. Other than a link, I dont know if I can help you.

If you're interested in being a cop in Anchorage, I know they're hiring. My friend was applying for a class 3 permit and the interviewing cop tried to recruit him!

Another possibility is petroleum process engineering, a very highly paid field with opportunities in Kenai, and which only requires a 2 year certificate to qualify for. By highly paid, I mean $50-60k to start.
