ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Capt. Bianca Cross has been named the chief designee of the Anchorage Police Department.Leadership changes often happen when there is a change in administration, but this one is occurring just days before an official run-off is likely declared between Mayor Dave Bronson and Suzanne LaFrance, which means this announcement comes just a few weeks before the city knows who will be the next mayor.
