North Lakes Booking Reports

North Lakes booking reports flow through the Alaska State Troopers and the Palmer court system. North Lakes is a census-designated place in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, tucked between Wasilla and Palmer. There is no local police force, so troopers from B Detachment handle arrests here along with Wasilla PD and Palmer PD on city edges. You can look up North Lakes booking reports on VINElink for jail status, CourtView for case files, and the trooper daily dispatch for fresh incident news. This page walks through each tool.

Who Runs North Lakes Booking Reports

North Lakes has no city hall, no mayor, and no police department. The Alaska State Troopers B Detachment covers the whole area along with the rest of the unincorporated Mat-Su Valley. Troopers run the calls, make the arrests, and write the booking reports that feed the state system.

On the west side of the community, Wasilla PD may also get involved in calls near the Wasilla line. On the east side, Palmer PD picks up calls near Palmer. Both city departments team up with troopers on Mat-Su arrests and help each other on bigger cases. The main Wasilla PD office is at 801 North Wasilla-Fishhook Road, 907-352-5401. Palmer PD sits at 425 South Alaska Street, 907-745-4811.

Note: A North Lakes arrest may end up in trooper records, Wasilla PD records, or Palmer PD records based on which agency took the call.

North Lakes Booking Reports on VINElink

VINElink is the free inmate lookup from the Alaska Department of Corrections. The tool runs every day, every hour. You can search by full name or by DOC number. Partial name search also works when you only know a bit of the last name.

Visit vinelink.vineapps.com/search/AK to start. Results show custody status, facility, sex, sentence length, a photo if one is on file, any aliases, parole hearings, and the release date. You can set up free alerts by text, email, or phone that ring when the inmate moves, gets out, or has a hearing coming up.

The VINElink Alaska page is the go-to for a quick North Lakes booking report check.

Run a name on the state VINE search and pick up current jail status in seconds.

Almost every Mat-Su arrest lands at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility first, and VINElink shows the new entry the same day.

Court Records for North Lakes

Case files tied to a North Lakes arrest run through the Palmer court. The Palmer Superior Court and Palmer District Court both sit at 435 South Denali Street, Palmer, AK 99645. The clerk can be reached at 907-746-8181 or 3PACopy@akcourts.us for record copies. Mat-Su booking reports land in the court file within days of the arrest.

CourtView is the best free case search. Run a name at courts.alaska.gov/main/search-cases.htm for charges, bail, and the next hearing. The tool pulls data from every trial court in the state. Some files drop off after 60 days if charges get dismissed or the person is found not guilty under court rule, so check often on new cases.

The Alaska Court Public Access portal adds a second way to see cases and filings statewide.

The full portal sits at public.courts.alaska.gov/web.

The portal also links to the daily Criminal Charges Filed PDF, which lists every new charge across the state.

Most of a court file stays public under AS 40.25.110 to 40.25.295 and AS 12.62.160. Juvenile records stay sealed. Victim names get blocked under AS 40.25.120. Read the full rules at the Alaska Public Records Act page.

North Lakes Arrest Records and Trooper Dispatch

The Alaska State Troopers run a daily dispatch feed that covers every post in the state. B Detachment posts are grouped with the Mat-Su Valley and show up at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov. Each post has a case number, a place, and a short story about what the troopers did.

Most posts cover arrests, drug stops, search and rescue calls, and warrant pickups. Check the feed for recent arrests in and around North Lakes, Wasilla, Big Lake, and Palmer. The page also links to older posts and to the Public Information Office contact for media.

Two more state tools help round out a North Lakes booking report search:

• Active Warrants hotsheet at hotsheets.dps.alaska.gov/AST/Warrants
• Sex Offender Registry at sor.dps.alaska.gov under AS 18.65.087
• DPS background check portal for a full criminal history report

Note: Trooper arrests in North Lakes often end up at Mat-Su Pretrial or Goose Creek, and both show up in the state jail roster on VINElink.

Mat-Su Jails Used for North Lakes Arrests

Mat-Su Pretrial Facility at 339 East Dogwood Avenue in Palmer is the main booking spot for North Lakes cases. The phone is (907) 745-0943. Staff run a medical screen, take fingerprints and photos, and log the personal info. People held here wait for the first hearing before a judge, usually within 24 hours.

Sentenced inmates from North Lakes may move to Goose Creek Correctional Center at 22301 West Alsop Road in Wasilla. Phone is (907) 864-8100. Goose Creek is one of the largest jails in Alaska and holds longer-term inmates from across the state. VINElink covers both facilities.

Alaska runs a unified jail system under AS 33.30, which means one facility holds both pretrial and post-sentence inmates. A VINElink record may shift status mid-case, so check back if a case is still moving through court.

How to Request North Lakes Booking Reports

A written records request is the right path when you want the full booking file, not just a CourtView snippet. Mail or drop the request at the agency that did the arrest. For troopers, send to the Alaska State Troopers Records Section at the Department of Public Safety. For Wasilla or Palmer PD cases, use the city department address.

A good request lists the full name, the date of arrest, and the case or incident number if you have it. State which items you want: the report, the mug shot, the dispatch audio, or all three. Include a mailing address and a phone number. The Alaska Public Records Act lets any person ask, so you do not need to give a reason.

Fees vary. The state DPS name based background check costs $20. Local agencies may charge per page. Processing takes around 10 business days, though big searches can run longer.

North Lakes Records in the State Registry

The Alaska Sex Offender and Child Kidnapper Registry is a free public list run by DPS under AS 18.65.087. You can search by name, city, zip code, or status. The North Lakes zip codes return a short list of registered people in the area. See the full registry at sor.dps.alaska.gov. The page also has a map view with pins near each address on file.

Note: A CourtView entry, a DPS background check, and a sex offender registry hit may each show a different slice of the same North Lakes case.
