One of the state’s most popular crime and emergency watchdog Facebook groups has gone through several name changes over the years, according to its head administrator, who is known as Tisha Victory on the page. It started as Anchorage Scanner Joe, then it was Alaska Scanner Joe. Today, it’s Alaska Scanner John, and Victory said the plan is for it to stay that way for years to come. ... So, who is John? John T. Johnson,” Victory said. “We call him JJ. John is a firefighter from out in the Valley, and he’s been in this field — I hate to say it — but as long as I’ve been on the Earth.”
Altogether, Victory said Johnson committed 43 years of service as a first responder. For the last several years, he’s been one of the page’s most critical admins. Today, Victory said there are only five, and Johnston has had a huge impact on all their lives in the time they’ve known him.
