Search Mat-Su Booking Reports

Matanuska-Susitna Borough booking reports come from Wasilla PD, Palmer PD, and Alaska State Troopers B Detachment working the valley. The Mat-Su is one of the fastest growing parts of Alaska, and its arrest volume has climbed with the population. You can search Mat-Su booking reports through police records offices, state court tools, and online jail rosters. The Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer holds most people booked in the borough, while Goose Creek Correctional Center houses sentenced inmates. A name or case number is all you need to start a search.

Wasilla Police Booking Reports

Wasilla Police Department is the largest city force in the Mat-Su. The station sits at 801 North Wasilla-Fishhook Road, Wasilla, AK 99654. Phone is 907-352-5401. Fax is 907-357-7877. You can also reach them at wpdadmin@cityofwasilla.gov. Wasilla PD handles most of the booking reports that come out of the western half of the valley. People taken into custody here get moved to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer for holding.

To get a booking report from Wasilla PD, you need to fill out a Public Records Request Form. The city has a PDF version on their website. The form asks for your contact info, what records you want, a date range, and why you need them. Staff try to get back to you in 10 business days. If the search takes a lot of time, they may charge a fee under the Alaska Public Records Act. Simple pulls cost less. Big date-range requests cost more.

Wasilla PD also takes online reports for some non-emergency crimes. That tool is separate from the booking report request process, but the case number it creates can link back to a later arrest and booking.

The DPS background check portal.

The tool runs around the clock and does not charge a fee for basic searches.

Note: Wasilla PD processes one case per request form, so file separate forms for each booking report you need.

Mat-Su Pretrial and Goose Creek

Mat-Su Pretrial Facility is the main booking jail for the borough. It sits at 339 East Dogwood Avenue, Palmer, AK 99645. Phone is (907) 745-0943. Fax is (907) 746-0501. The Alaska Department of Corrections runs the building. People arrested by Wasilla PD, Palmer PD, or the Troopers all come here for booking.

Goose Creek Correctional Center handles sentenced inmates. It sits at 22301 West Alsop Road, Wasilla, AK 99623. Phone is (907) 864-8100. Goose Creek is the newer and larger facility. It houses people who have been convicted and are doing time, not pretrial holds. If you want to find someone at either place, run a name through VINElink Alaska. The tool shows current custody status, location, and lets you set up a free alert for changes.

Palmer Correctional Center also sits in the borough at P.O. Box 919, Palmer, AK 99645. Phone is (907) 745-5054. Between the three facilities, the Mat-Su holds more inmates per capita than most boroughs in the state. Each booking creates a new record in the DOC system.

Note: VINElink alerts are free and work by phone, text, or email, so you do not need to keep checking back.

Active warrants sit on the DPS warrants page. Under AS 12.25.030, officers can serve a warrant any time of day once a judge signs it. MATCOM Dispatch Center runs 24/7 coverage for the borough. Troopers coordinate with Wasilla PD, Palmer PD, DOC staff, and federal agencies on multi-agency sweeps.
