Badger 24 Hour Booking Records
Badger 24 Hour Booking records cover people taken into custody in the Badger Census Designated Place by Alaska State Troopers and the Fairbanks Police Department. The CDP has no city police force of its own. You can search Badger arrest records on the trooper Daily Dispatch, the Fairbanks Police P2C portal, the Fairbanks Correctional Center inmate list, and the Alaska Court System CourtView portal. This page lays out where to find Badger 24 Hour Booking data.
Badger 24 Hour Booking Overview
State Troopers in Badger
Badger is an unincorporated CDP in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The area has no municipal police department. The Alaska State Troopers D Detachment provides law enforcement for the CDP. Troopers dispatch out of the Fairbanks Post at 1979 Peger Road. The records and front desk line is (907) 451-5100.
Trooper coverage in Badger includes traffic stops, warrant arrests, DUI investigations, assault calls, and rural property crime. The booking process at intake is the same as any other DOC site. Fingerprints, photos, a DNA sample from the inner cheek, warrant checks, and a health screen all happen at the front of the file. That data set forms the start of the Badger 24 Hour Booking record.
Troopers also coordinate with Fairbanks Police on calls near the city border. Many Badger arrests are remanded to the Fairbanks Correctional Center after the booking. The trooper case file then ties to the FCC inmate file. You can pull both with a records request to DPS or with a phone call to FCC.
Trooper Daily Dispatch for Badger
The Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch is the official press log for trooper arrests. The Dispatch posts daily. Each entry shows the date, time, place, charge, and remand facility. Badger entries are common because troopers cover the whole CDP. Public access requires no login.
The Dispatch lets you search by date range. You can also pull a single entry by its incident number. A typical number takes the form AK26021492. The Daily Dispatch is the fastest way to spot a fresh Badger 24 Hour Booking arrest.
Below is the trooper Daily Dispatch home page. The Alaska Department of Public Safety hosts it at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov.
The page lists the most recent trooper arrests across the state. Use the search box to filter by Badger or by a date window. Each entry has a case number you can quote in a records request.
Note: The trooper Daily Dispatch is the main public source for Badger 24 Hour Booking entries since the CDP has no city police of its own.
Fairbanks Correctional Center Bookings
The Fairbanks Correctional Center is the main jail for Badger arrests. FCC sits at 1931 Eagan Avenue in Fairbanks. The phone is (907) 458-6700. The facility is run by the Alaska Department of Corrections. It holds both pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates.
FCC books all Badger area arrestees from the troopers and any cooperating agency. The intake desk records full name, date of birth, charges, bail, and booking number. The facility offers medical and mental health services on site. Visiting hours run by appointment only.
You can confirm a person is at FCC through the Alaska VINE system. Call 1-800-247-9763 or use the website. VINE shows the current location of any DOC inmate. The service is free. It runs 24 hours a day. TTY service is at 1-866-847-1298.
CourtView for Badger Cases
Badger cases are filed in the Fourth Judicial District. The Rabinowitz Courthouse in Fairbanks handles all Badger criminal filings. Case numbers start with 4FA. A typical case is 4FA-26-00001CR. You can search cases on CourtView. The site is free.
CourtView shows charges, hearing dates, docket entries, and bail. It pulls from both Superior and District courts. Felonies go to Superior Court. Misdemeanors and traffic cases go to District Court. The site returns up to 500 records per query. You can search by name, case number, or ticket number.
Some Badger cases drop off CourtView. Under AS 22.35.030 the court takes a case off the public site after 60 days when the person is acquitted or all charges are dismissed. Juvenile, CINA, adoption, and mental commitment matters are not posted at all. Always confirm the date of birth before you act on a name match.
Court copy fees run $5 for the first document. Each added copy costs $3. Certified copies cost $10. Research time runs $30 per hour. Older paper files from before 1990 may need an in person trip to the courthouse clerks.
Records Request Steps for Badger
You can ask for a Badger arrest report in two main ways. File with Alaska State Troopers through the DPS records portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Or contact the DPS Records and Identification Bureau at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage. The phone is (907) 269-5767.
State law gives DPS 10 working days to respond under AS 40.25.110. The Alaska Public Records Act guide covers the full process. Day 0 is the day the request comes in. Some Badger records stay closed. Active cases, juvenile files, and victim names in sex crimes are all withheld.
Fingerprint background checks cost $35. Name based checks cost $20. The DPS bureau pulls from the Alaska Public Safety Information Network. The reports cover adult arrests and convictions. Use the bureau report for a longer view, not for fresh Badger 24 Hour Booking activity.
The DPS fee schedule for Badger area records is clear. Court record copies cost $5 for the first page and $3 for each extra. Criminal history reports run $20 for a walk-in name check and $5 per added copy. The fingerprint check at $35 is the most complete option. DPS sits at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage but you can file by mail or online. For a Badger 24 Hour Booking record tied to a trooper arrest, the DPS FOIA portal is the best route. For a court file, go straight to CourtView or the Rabinowitz Courthouse in Fairbanks. The troopers also coordinate with Fairbanks Police on incidents near the city boundary, so some Badger arrests may end up in the Fairbanks PD log instead of the trooper file. Check both if the location was close to the city line.
VINE Custody Tracking
The Alaska VINE system tracks Badger arrestees once a booking hits the state DOC. VINE is free. It runs 24 hours a day. Call 1-800-247-9763 or use vinelink.com. The service shows the current location of any DOC inmate.
You can also sign up for free release alerts. VINE will call when an offender is released, transferred, or escapes. Advance alerts go out 30 days before release. Register a phone number, an email, or both. Set a four digit PIN to confirm the alert. TTY service is at 1-866-847-1298.
Tip: Check the trooper Daily Dispatch first for any Badger 24 Hour Booking entry, then use VINE to confirm the person is at FCC.
