Tanaina 24 Hour Booking Overview
Tanaina 24 Hour Booking by State Troopers
Tanaina is a CDP in the Mat-Su Borough. The community has no city police. All law enforcement comes from the Alaska State Troopers B Detachment. The dispatch number is (907) 269-5511. Troopers handle every arrest in Tanaina, from traffic stops to warrant pickups to felony calls.
After an arrest, the person is transported to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer. The booking starts there. Fingerprints, photos, a DNA cheek swab, warrant checks, and a health screen all happen at intake. The data from that process makes up the Tanaina 24 Hour Booking record. A typical Daily Dispatch entry reads something like: "On 12/23/25 at approximately 2242 hours, AST received a report... the person was arrested and transported to MSPT."
B Detachment covers the entire Mat-Su Borough. That includes Wasilla, Palmer, Big Lake, Meadow Lakes, and all the smaller CDPs. Tanaina sits close to Wasilla and the Parks Highway corridor. Trooper activity in the area is steady. DUI arrests, domestic violence calls, theft cases, and drug offenses all come through the Tanaina area.
Trooper Daily Dispatch for Tanaina
The Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch is the official press log for all trooper arrests. The Dispatch posts daily. Each entry lists the date, time, location, charge, and the facility where the person was remanded. Tanaina entries show up under the Mat-Su area section.
The Dispatch is free. No login is needed. You can search by date range or pull a single entry by its incident number. The Daily Dispatch is the fastest public source for a fresh Tanaina 24 Hour Booking entry. It usually posts the day after the arrest.
Below is the Alaska DPS records request portal. File trooper records requests at dpsalaska.justfoia.com.
The portal gives you a request number and a key to track progress. Include the incident date, names, and location when you file.
Note: The Daily Dispatch is the main public source for Tanaina 24 Hour Booking entries since the CDP has no city police of its own.
Mat-Su Pretrial Facility Bookings
The Mat-Su Pretrial Facility is the main jail for Tanaina arrests. MSPT sits at 339 East Dogwood Avenue in Palmer, AK 99645. The phone is (907) 745-0943. The facility is run by the Alaska Department of Corrections. It holds pretrial detainees from across the Mat-Su Borough.
Booking records at MSPT include full name, date of birth, charges, bail amount, booking number, and housing unit. The intake desk records all of this when a person arrives. Most Tanaina arrests land at MSPT the same day. Sentenced inmates may be moved to a larger DOC facility later.
You can confirm a person is at MSPT through the Alaska VINE system. Call 1-800-247-9763 or use vinelink.com. VINE is free. It runs 24 hours a day, every day. The system shows the current location and custody status of any person in the state DOC system.
MSPT also takes bookings from Wasilla Police, Palmer Police, and other Mat-Su agencies. The facility stays busy. If the person you are looking for was arrested in Tanaina, MSPT is the first place to check after the Daily Dispatch.
CourtView for Tanaina Cases
Tanaina criminal cases are filed in the Third Judicial District. The Palmer Trial Court handles most Mat-Su area cases. Case data posts to the Alaska Court System CourtView portal. CourtView is free. Search by name, case number, or ticket number.
CourtView shows charges, hearing dates, docket entries, and bail. It pulls from Superior and District courts. Use CourtView once a Tanaina 24 Hour Booking arrest has moved into a formal court case. The system returns up to 500 results per query.
Some Tanaina cases drop off CourtView. Under AS 22.35.030 the court removes a case 60 days after an acquittal or full dismissal. Juvenile, CINA, and adoption matters never appear. Always check date of birth before you act on a name match.
Tanaina Records Request Steps
You can get Tanaina 24 Hour Booking records through two main paths. File with the troopers through dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Or search CourtView for court files. There is no city police department to contact.
For trooper records, include the incident date, location, and names of the people involved. State law under AS 40.25.110 gives DPS 10 working days to respond. The Alaska Public Records Act guide covers fees, exemptions, and the appeal route if a request gets denied.
Active investigation files stay sealed. Juvenile records are not released. Victim names in sex crimes are withheld. The Alaska Public Records Act lists all the exemptions. If your request is denied, you can appeal to the DPS commissioner or file in Superior Court.
For formal background checks, the DPS Criminal Records and Identification Bureau is at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage. Name checks cost $20. Fingerprint checks cost $35. The phone is (907) 269-5767. Reports cover adult arrests and convictions across Alaska. Use a bureau check for a full history, not for a fresh Tanaina 24 Hour Booking entry.
VINE Custody Search for Tanaina
The Alaska VINE system tracks Tanaina arrestees once a booking hits the state DOC system. VINE is free. It runs around the clock. Call 1-800-247-9763 or visit vinelink.com. Search by name or offender ID number. The service shows custody status, facility location, and charges.
