Anchorage Police Bodycam Shows Man Armed with a Knife Charging Officer Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case said he is satisfied that an Anchorage Police sergeant acted appropriately when he shot and killed a man who was advancing toward him with a knife in Mountain View this fall. Police Sergeant James Dokken was cleared on Tuesday by the State Office of Special Prosecutions, which investigates officer involved shootings, for his use of deadly force against 24- year-old James Afuvai. Anchorage police released edited body camera footage and a summary of events on Tuesday. The incident happened on Sept. 29 when police say Afuvai made multiple calls to 911 asking for officers to respond. Afuvai tells dispatchers that someone is hurt, according to police. On another call, he said someone is shooting up the neighborhood, and on another call, that a person with a knife is threatening him. Police sent several officers to respond, including the Mobile Intervention Team, to deal with what they suspected might be a mental health issue. Case said Sergeant Dokken was alone when he initially staged in the area waiting for police back-up. When Dokken saw a man he thought was the caller approaching his patrol car, he got out of his patrol car to make contact. “He didn’t see a knife when he got out of the car. He didn’t identify as a threat, and it was an appropriate decision for him to get out of the car to make contact with that individual,” Case said. When Dokken recognized the man, later identified as Afuvai, was holding a knife and advancing toward him, he can repeatedly be heard on audio released by APD ordering the man to drop the knife. Case said Dokken shot at Afuvai when he was about 20 feet away. When asked why Dokken didn’t use less lethal means to try to stop Afuvai, the Chief said APD policy dictates there must be at least two officers present to use less lethal means, including one that has lethal as a back-up, but Dokken was alone at the time. One reason, according to Case, is that less lethal options don’t always work. Case said the department tracks the effectiveness of less lethal weapons and has found that tasers have about a 25% success rate in Alaska, in part, because they don’t perform well against bulky winter clothes. A Department of Justice study found that tasers were effective in reducing injuries to both officers and suspects.
