Wasilla Police Department Booking Records

The Wasilla Police Department handles most arrests inside city limits. WPD has 30 commissioned officers as of 2025. The department was set up in 1993. It runs patrol, investigations, records, and evidence processing from its main office at 401 N. Wasilla-Fishhook Road, Wasilla, AK 99654. The phone number is (907) 352-5401.

WPD does not run its own jail. People arrested by Wasilla Police get taken to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer for booking. That means the 24 Hour Booking log for a Wasilla arrest will show up at MSPT, not at a city lock-up. The transport from Wasilla to Palmer takes about 15 to 20 minutes on the Parks Highway.

To get a copy of a Wasilla arrest report, call WPD records at (907) 352-5401. You can also go in person during business hours. Give them the date, the name, or the case number if you have it. Most people file requests by phone or walk in. WPD also has an online citizen report form for non-emergency cases, but that is not the same as pulling an arrest report.

Here is the Wasilla Police Department page. You can find contact info and records details at cityofwasilla.gov/327/Police.

The site lists the main phone line, the non-emergency number, and links to citizen reports. Use this as your starting point for any Wasilla PD records request.

Mat-Su Pretrial Facility 24 Hour Booking

The Mat-Su Pretrial Facility is the main booking jail for Wasilla arrests. MSPT sits at 339 East Dogwood Avenue in Palmer, AK 99645. The phone is (907) 745-0943. Both Wasilla PD and Alaska State Troopers send people here after arrest. The facility holds pretrial detainees and some sentenced inmates.

The booking log at MSPT includes the prisoner name, booking number, arresting agency, charges, and bond amount. Capacity is roughly 100 or more inmates. If the facility gets full, some people may be moved to Goose Creek Correctional Center or another DOC site. The classification officer can be reached at (907) 269-7426 for questions about a specific inmate.

You can check if someone is held at MSPT through the Alaska VINE system. VINE is free. It runs all day and night. You can call 1-800-247-9763 or use the website. The system tells you the custody status and the facility. You can also sign up for alerts so you know when someone gets released or moved. VINE connects to MSPT and other DOC facilities across the state.

The Alaska State Troopers also make arrests in and around Wasilla. Troopers cover the unincorporated parts of the Mat-Su Borough and back up Wasilla PD when needed. Trooper arrests in Wasilla show up on the Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch. The Dispatch is the state press log. It posts each day with names, ages, charges, and where each person was sent.

Common charges you see on the Dispatch for Wasilla include DUI, assault, warrant arrests, and MICS (Misconduct Involving Controlled Substances). Each entry has a case number like AK25103233, plus the date, time, location, and a short write-up. The location field will say "Wasilla" for incidents in the city or nearby.

You can see case files in person during business hours.

The Alaska Court System CourtView portal lets you search Wasilla cases online for free. Search by name, case number, or ticket number.

Some cases won't show on CourtView. Under AS 22.35.030 the court removes a case after 60 days if the person was found not guilty or all charges were dropped. Juvenile cases and CINA matters do not appear at all. Always check the date of birth before you rely on a name match. CourtView returns up to 500 results per search.

Wasilla Arrest Records Request Steps

There are a few ways to pull Wasilla 24 Hour Booking records. The path depends on who made the arrest and what stage the case is in. Here is a quick breakdown of each route.

For a fresh arrest report from Wasilla PD, call (907) 352-5401. Give them the date and name. Walk-in requests are taken at 401 N. Wasilla-Fishhook Road during normal hours. Most reports come back fast since WPD is a smaller department. You may need a signed release form if the records involve a person other than yourself.

For trooper arrests, use the DPS portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Fill out the online form. Add the incident date and names. You get a request number and a key to track it. State law gives DPS 10 working days to respond. Some records may be held back if the case is still open.

The Alaska Public Records Act governs all of this. APRA is in AS 40.25.100 through AS 40.25.295. The Alaska Department of Law APRA page lays out the rules, fees, and the appeal process if your request is denied. Keep a copy of any denial letter for your own files.

Background Checks and Wasilla Records

The Alaska DPS Criminal Records and Identification Bureau handles formal background checks. The office is at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage. The phone is (907) 269-5767. A name-based check costs $20. A fingerprint check costs $35. The report covers adult arrests and convictions in the Alaska Public Safety Information Network.

The CRIB is not a 24 Hour Booking source. Use it for a broader view of a person's record over time. Walk-in requests need two photo IDs. One must be government issued. Mail-in requests take cash, check, or money order. Plan on two to three weeks for a mailed result. The Alaska Department of Corrections website also has links to inmate search tools if you need DOC-level data.

The Alaska Sex Offender Registry is another state resource. It is free and open to the public. You can search by name or by area. The registry covers all registered sex offenders in Alaska, including those in the Wasilla area. The Violent Crimes Compensation Board can help victims get alerts and support through the court process.
