Juneau Booking Reports Lookup

Juneau booking reports track every arrest made by city police, state troopers, and federal agents working in the capital. The Juneau Police Department logged 1,465 arrests in 2022 alone, and each one left a booking record you can look up. Three law enforcement agencies feed the local jail and court system, so Juneau booking reports come from more than one source. You can search by name or case number through the state court site, call JPD records staff, or check inmate status at the Lemon Creek Correctional Center. This page covers every tool and office that handles Juneau booking data.

Juneau Police Department Booking Reports

The Juneau Police Department is the main source for booking reports in the city. JPD sits at 6255 Alaway Avenue, Juneau, AK 99801. The main line is (907) 586-0600. For arrest records and police reports, call the Records Supervisor at (907) 586-0620. The Investigations Sergeant can be reached at (907) 586-0634 if you need to ask about a specific criminal case.

JPD takes written requests for booking reports in person during business hours. You need the full name of the person who was arrested. A date of arrest or case number speeds things up. The department processes these under the Alaska Public Records Act, which means most booking records are open to the public unless an exemption applies. Juvenile records stay sealed. Ongoing investigations can block a release. Victim names get redacted under AS 40.25.120.

JPD handles crimes against persons, property crimes, and crimes against society. The 1,465 arrests in 2022 covered all three groups. That number puts Juneau near the top for per capita arrests in Southeast Alaska.

Note: JPD only releases booking reports for cases past the first court hearing, so brand new arrests may not show up right away.

Juneau Court Records Search

Court records tied to a Juneau arrest live on the Alaska Court System website. The state runs a free search tool that covers every court in Alaska, and Juneau cases fall under the First Judicial District. You can look up a name or a case number at the search page.

The Alaska Court System lets you search cases filed across the state from one page. Start at courts.alaska.gov/main/search-cases.htm and type in the name or case number you want.

The search form above pulls up case type, charges, hearing dates, and the judge assigned. It does not show the full booking report, but it gives you the case number you need to file a records request with JPD.

For a deeper look, use the Court Public Access Portal. This tool shows scheduled hearings, case documents, and charge details for Juneau cases. The portal runs at public.courts.alaska.gov/web/ and does not need an account to use.

The portal screen lets you filter by court location, so you can narrow results to just Juneau filings.

The Juneau Clerk of Court handles copies and certified documents. Call (907) 463-4700 to ask about a specific filing or to order a copy by phone. Walk-in requests go through the courthouse front desk. Fees for copies follow the statewide schedule set by court rule.

Lemon Creek Correctional Center

Lemon Creek Correctional Center is the jail that serves Juneau. The facility holds pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates under the Alaska Department of Corrections. Call (907) 465-6200 for general info about someone in custody. Alaska runs a unified jail system, so the same building can hold a person from booking through sentencing.

To find out if someone is in Lemon Creek right now, run a name search on VINElink for Alaska. The tool shows custody status, the facility name, and lets you set up a free alert when the person moves or gets released. VINElink updates throughout the day and covers every state jail in Alaska.

As of early 2023, Lemon Creek held 18 inmates on a typical day. That count shifts with the court calendar and seasonal changes in local crime. The facility sits off Lemon Creek Road, about 10 miles north of downtown Juneau.

Note: VINElink records may lag a few hours behind actual booking or release times at Lemon Creek.

Juneau Booking Reports and State Law

Booking reports in Juneau fall under the Alaska Public Records Act. AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.220 gives you the right to ask for these records. The law says public agencies must respond within 10 business days. If a clerk denies your request, you can appeal.

A few rules shape what you can pull from Juneau booking records:

• Juvenile records stay sealed under state law
• Victim names get blocked from public copies
• Active investigation files can be held back
• Fair trial concerns may delay a release
• Sex offender data sits on a separate registry

Criminal justice information rules under AS 12.62.160 also apply to how JPD shares booking data. The statute sets limits on who can see certain fields in an arrest record. Most basic booking info, such as the name, charge, and date, is open. But some details need a signed release or a court order.

For sex offender records tied to a Juneau address, search the state registry at sor.dps.alaska.gov. You can look up by name or zip code. Juneau zip codes return a short list compared to larger cities, but the tool covers the full borough.

State Troopers in Juneau

Alaska State Troopers run cases in and around Juneau. Troopers handle calls on roads outside the city core and assist JPD on major crimes. Trooper arrests in the Juneau area show up on the daily dispatch feed. Check that feed at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov for the most recent reports.

Active warrants from trooper cases across the state sit at hotsheets.dps.alaska.gov/AST/Warrants. The list updates each day. You can scan it for Juneau names or filter by the First Judicial District. A warrant hit can lead to a fresh booking at Lemon Creek.

Trooper arrests in the Juneau area end up at Lemon Creek just like JPD bookings. The state runs one jail system, so the facility name on a VINElink search will be the same no matter which agency made the arrest.

Background Checks for Juneau Records

If you need a formal background check that covers Juneau booking reports, the Alaska Department of Public Safety runs an online portal. The tool pulls criminal history from every agency in the state, not just JPD. You submit a request with the person's name and date of birth, pay the fee, and get results by email.

Start a background check at backgroundcheck.dps.alaska.gov. The fee is $25 for a name-based search. Fingerprint checks cost more and take longer. Results come back in about five business days for the name-based option.

This tool is useful when you want a full picture that goes past a single Juneau booking report. It pulls data from courts, corrections, and law enforcement statewide.
