Security in Anchorage generally is a joke; there simply is nothing like enough police presence, and in most places there is little "people" presence.   Much of the town looks like it is in lock-down; nobody on the street, nobody outside their home, no kids playing outside.   I live in nice, relatively quiet part of town, yet I see the moms take their kids to the school bus stop and sit there watching over them until they get on the bus.   Most don't ride the bus at all and there is a long, long line of "mommy-mobiles" dropping off or picking up kids at the nearby school.   I almost never see a kid playing outside.   ANC has been over run by the scumbags and losers, and the only police presence I see much of is the take home car in front of the expensive house.
