True Detective season 4: What does APF stand for?
As mentioned earlier, True Detective season 4 was released on HBO and Max on January 14, 2024. While fans were excited about the show, many were confused about a particular term being used, APF, which stands for Alaska Police Force. Detectives Liz Danvers and Statetrooper Evangeline Navarro are tasked with the search for the missing scientists. They are both detectives in the Alaska Police Force.
It is worth noting that detectives don't exactly function as police personnel but act as specialized law enforcement professionals. They are responsible for investigating crimes, collecting evidence, and identifying criminals and suspects.
In the show as well, the two main leads are trying to solve the mystery of the missing men while trying to gather evidence along the way.
