Search Wasilla Booking Reports

Wasilla booking reports come from the Wasilla Police Department, Alaska State Troopers B Detachment, and cases handled by other agencies working in the Mat-Su Valley. The city sits at the heart of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, which makes it a hub for law enforcement in the region. Wasilla booking records can be pulled through a public records request to the police department, a search on the state court system, or an inmate lookup through VINElink. This page walks through each tool and office that handles Wasilla arrest data.

Wasilla Police Department Booking Reports

The Wasilla Police Department handles most booking reports for arrests that happen inside the city. WPD sits at 801 N Wasilla-Fishhook Road, Wasilla, AK 99654. The phone number is 907-352-5401. You can also reach the department by email at wpdadmin@cityofwasilla.gov or by fax at 907-357-7877.

Wasilla uses a Public Records Request Form to handle booking report requests. The form asks for your contact info, a clear description of the records you want, the date range, and the reason for the request. You can download the form in PDF format from the city website. Records requests for the police department go through a separate track from general city records, so make sure you pick the right form.

The city runs a public records page where you can start your request online. Go to cityofwasilla.gov Public Records to find the form and instructions.

The screenshot above shows the Wasilla public records page where you start the request process. Fill in the form fields and submit it to the department.

WPD tries to process requests within 10 business days. Complex searches or large file pulls can take longer. Fees may apply for extensive research or copies under the Alaska Public Records Act. The department will let you know the cost before they start work on big requests.

Note: Wasilla PD records requests are separate from general city records, so use the police-specific form for booking reports.

Mat-Su Pretrial and Wasilla Booking Records

People arrested in Wasilla get booked into the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility. The jail sits at 339 East Dogwood Avenue in Palmer, AK 99645. Phone is (907) 745-0943. The facility holds pretrial inmates from Wasilla, Palmer, and the rest of the borough. Booking at Mat-Su Pretrial includes medical screening, fingerprints, a photo, and a property check.

The Alaska Department of Corrections runs Mat-Su Pretrial along with every other jail in the state. To check if someone is there right now, use VINElink. The tool at vinelink.vineapps.com/search/AK shows the facility name, custody status, and lets you set up a free alert.

VINElink covers every state facility in Alaska, so you can track a Wasilla booking even if the person gets moved to another jail.

Goose Creek Correctional Center also serves the Wasilla area. It sits at 22301 West Alsop Road, Wasilla, AK 99623, and the phone is (907) 864-8100. Goose Creek houses sentenced inmates, not pretrial. If someone was booked at Mat-Su Pretrial and later convicted, they may move to Goose Creek or another state facility.

Wasilla Court Records

Court records linked to a Wasilla arrest go through the Palmer Court. The courthouse sits at 435 South Denali Street in Palmer. Wasilla falls in the Third Judicial District. The clerk handles copies and certified documents. You can call the Palmer court at 907-746-8181 or email 3PACopy@akcourts.us to ask about a specific case.

The state court system runs a free online tool for case lookups. Search by name or case number at courts.alaska.gov/main/search-cases.htm. The tool pulls up charge details, hearing dates, and the judge assigned. It covers Wasilla cases filed at the Palmer court.

Wasilla booking reports and court records are two different things. The booking report comes from the police or jail. The court record comes from the court system once charges are filed. You may need both to get a full picture of an arrest.

Wasilla Booking Reports and Alaska Law

The Alaska Public Records Act controls access to Wasilla booking reports. AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.220 says public agencies must respond to records requests. The law gives you the right to ask for booking data held by WPD or any state agency. A clerk can deny a request only if a specific exemption applies.

Some records get blocked from public release:

• Juvenile arrest records stay sealed
• Victim names are redacted
• Active investigation files may be held back
• Records that could harm a fair trial get delayed

Criminal justice information rules under AS 12.62.160 set more limits on how Wasilla PD shares booking data. Basic info like the name, charge, and arrest date is open. Some fields need a signed release or a court order before staff can hand them over. If you get a denial, you can appeal through the same statute.

State Troopers in the Wasilla Area

Alaska State Troopers B Detachment covers the Mat-Su Valley, which includes Wasilla. Troopers handle calls outside city limits and assist WPD on large operations. A May 2025 drug-focused operation led by the Mat-Su Narcotics Team and HIDTA task force brought in 41 arrests across the valley. Those arrests all produced booking reports that you can look up.

Trooper arrests show up on the daily dispatch feed at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov. The feed shows incident type, location, and the suspect name. Active warrants sit at hotsheets.dps.alaska.gov/AST/Warrants and update each day.

WPD works with Palmer PD and the troopers on regional cases. When agencies work together, the booking report may list one agency while the arrest was a joint effort. Check all three agencies if you can't find a specific record.

Note: Trooper arrests in Wasilla end up at Mat-Su Pretrial just like WPD bookings, since Alaska runs one jail system.

Wasilla Booking Reports in State Databases

The Alaska Department of Public Safety runs a name based background check portal that covers every adult arrest and conviction in the state. Wasilla booking reports from the city PD, the troopers, and Mat-Su Pretrial all feed into the same file. The portal sits at backgroundcheck.dps.alaska.gov. The fee is $20 by name or $35 by fingerprint. Fingerprint checks are more accurate since they tie to a person and not a name string.

The Alaska Sex Offender and Child Kidnapper Registry is a separate free public list under AS 18.65.087. You can search by name, city, zip code, or status. The Wasilla zip codes pull a list of people who have to register while in or near the city. The full registry lives at sor.dps.alaska.gov. Each entry shows the conviction type, the next check-in date, and the address on file.

Note: A VINElink record, a CourtView file, and a DPS background check may each show a different slice of the same Wasilla case.
