Fairbanks Police Booking Reports

The Fairbanks Police Department is the main law enforcement agency in the city. Their office sits at 800 Cushman Street in downtown Fairbanks. In 2022, the department logged 1,127 total arrests. That breaks down to 1,072 adults and 55 minors. The charges ranged from disorderly conduct and DUI all the way up to larceny, burglary, robbery, and murder. Each arrest goes through a standard booking process at the station before transport to the correctional center.

Arrest records are public under Alaska law. You can get them by filing a written request with the department. Include the case number if you have it, or give the date, time, and place of the event. Tell the clerk if you were part of the case or not. The type of report you want matters too, since the department keeps separate files for the arrest itself, the incident report, and any follow-up notes. Some data gets redacted. Juvenile booking reports stay sealed. Victim names come out under AS 40.25.120. Medical notes and info that might hurt a fair trial also get cut.

Fairbanks PD runs a free wanted list that shows people with active warrants. It gives the name, the charge, and the type of warrant. Check it if you want to see who has an open case before you dig into older booking reports.

For statewide searches, use the VINElink Alaska inmate search to check names and cases. See it at VINElink Alaska inmate search.

The page loads quickly and gives you results in a few clicks.

Note: Each records request needs its own case number, so file separate forms if you want data from more than one arrest.

Fairbanks Correctional Center

Fairbanks Correctional Center is the main jail for the borough. It sits at 1931 Eagan Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701. Phone is (907) 458-6700. Fax is (907) 458-6751. The Alaska Department of Corrections runs the facility. It holds pretrial inmates and people doing short sentences. When someone gets booked, staff take a photo, run fingerprints, and collect personal info. That data feeds into the statewide inmate search system.

The jail takes people from Fairbanks PD, North Pole PD, and the Troopers. Interior Alaska has no other large detention facility, so most booking reports from the region trace back to this one building. Pretrial inmates stay here while they wait for court dates at the Fairbanks Superior Court. Some post-conviction inmates get held here for a while before they ship to another state facility. Medical care and mental health services are on site.

Another useful state resource is the Court Public Access Portal. See it at Court Public Access Portal.

Start with a name or case number to pull up booking details.

Note: Alaska uses a unified jail system, so a person booked pretrial and later sentenced may stay in the same facility the whole time.

North Pole Police Booking Reports

North Pole sits inside the borough but runs its own police force. The department address is 125 Snowman Lane, North Pole, AK 99705. Phone is (907) 488-8583. In 2022, North Pole PD made 69 adult arrests and 5 juvenile arrests. The charges mostly covered property crimes and low-level offenses. People booked by North Pole PD go to the Fairbanks Correctional Center for holding.

To get booking reports from North Pole, fill out a records request form. You can pick it up in person at the station or email it in. The form asks for case details so the clerk can find the right file. The City Clerk office can also help if you run into trouble with a request. Turn times depend on how many requests are in the queue and how complex yours is. Simple one-case pulls come back faster than broad date-range searches.

North Pole PD works with Fairbanks PD and the Troopers on larger cases. If an arrest crosses city lines, the booking report may sit with whichever agency made the actual grab.

Trooper Coverage in Fairbanks North Star

Troopers handle calls in the parts of the borough outside city limits where Fairbanks PD and North Pole PD do not patrol. That includes rural roads, highway stops, and areas near military bases. The DPS office at 1979 Peger Road takes in-person background check requests during business hours.

Trooper arrests in the borough show up on the daily dispatch feed. The feed lists new incidents each day with a short summary of what happened. It does not give full booking report details, but it tells you the charge, the location, and the date. Use it as a starting point, then file a formal request if you need the full file. Wildlife Troopers also work the area and handle fish and game cases. Their arrests follow the same booking path through the Fairbanks Correctional Center.

Active warrants for trooper cases sit on the DPS warrants page. The list updates daily. If a person on the list gets picked up, a new booking report gets created at the jail. You can cross-check warrant names against court filings to see where the case stands. Under AS 12.25.030, officers can make a warrant arrest at any time of day or night once a judge signs off.

Note: Troopers in Fairbanks North Star work 24/7 dispatch through the borough, but response times in remote areas can take longer than in the city.
