Description

The principal issue presented in this appeal is the extent of a police officers duty to respond to a life-threatening situation. Appellee Douglas McLean claims that the City of Kotzebue (the city) was negligent in preventing a stabbing of McLean because a Kotzebue police officer failed to promptly respond to a life-threatening phone call made by McLeans assailant prior to the attack. The superior court instructed the jury that the city, acting through its police officers, had a duty to exercise ordinary or reasonable care for the safety of McLean. The city appeals from a jury verdict in favor of McLean. We affirm.
