Alaskan Ferry Service will pay to Armed Canadian Police

Alaska will pay furnished Canadian police to give insurance to U.S. work force at a ship terminal in British Columbia.

CoastAlaska announced Friday that the Alaska Marine Highway System was advised in March that unarmed U.S. Traditions and Border Protection operators checking ships leaving Prince Rupert, British Columbia, will require the help of Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The Canadian officers will be contracted through the ship administration, which is confronting spending cuts by Alaska's Legislature.

Authorities state U.S. faculty can't convey guns while doing international ID and booty checks in Prince Rupert, 117 miles (188 kilometers) south of Ketchikan.

Authorities state subtleties of the arrangement have not been finished and an understanding permitting U.S. operators to convey guns at the Prince Rupert port is quite a long while away.
