Aleutians East Borough Booking Overview
Aleutians East Borough Booking Sources
The borough has two small city police forces. King Cove Police Department sits at P.O. Box 289, King Cove, AK 99612, and you can reach them at (907) 497-2210. The unit runs with about four officers. They keep arrest logs in house. To get a 24 Hour Booking record from King Cove you file a written request with the date, place, and names of the people involved. The same rules apply to Sand Point Police Department at P.O. Box 289, Sand Point, AK 99612, phone (907) 383-5111.
Both city forces work close with Alaska State Troopers C Detachment. Troopers cover the rest of the borough land and the open water. When a trooper makes an arrest in an unincorporated spot, the report goes up on the trooper press log. Read the full daily list at the Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch. Each entry shows a case number, the time of the booking, the charge, and the place the person was sent. That last bit tells you where to call next.
Sand Point and King Cove send long term holds out of the borough. Most people end up at a state Department of Corrections facility on the road system. The local jail space is short term only.
Note: File a records request with the agency that made the arrest, since each force keeps its own jail roster and booking log.
Court Records and Case Lookup
Criminal cases for the Aleutians East Borough run through the Dillingham Trial Court at 501 Seward Street, Dillingham, AK. The court covers the western half of the state. You can search the cases for free on CourtView. The site lists case type, charges, hearing dates, and docket entries. Enter a name or a case number. A case number from this court takes the form 3DI-25-00001CR with leading zeros.
Below is the Dillingham trial court CourtView page used for Aleutians East Borough cases. The Alaska Court System keeps the public case search at records.courts.alaska.gov.
CourtView is the fastest way to confirm that an arrest in Aleutians East has moved into a real court case. The system pulls in district and superior court files. Some matters come off the public site after dismissal or acquittal under AS 22.35.030.
Certified copies from the court cost $5 for the first document and $3 for each one after. Court clerks can pull a paper file during business hours. Many older Aleutians East Borough cases were filed before 1990 and live only on paper index cards at the local clerk window.
Alaska State Troopers C Detachment
C Detachment runs out of Western Alaska. It covers the Aleutians East Borough, the Aleutians West Census Area, Kodiak, and the lower Kuskokwim. Troopers fly between posts. The detachment also works close with Village Public Safety Officers, known as VPSOs. A VPSO is the first responder in many small villages on the chain.
Trooper arrests show up on the Daily Dispatch press log within 24 hours of the booking. Each press release lists the date, the place, the name of the person taken in, the charge, and the jail or facility. The remand line is the key bit for a 24 Hour Booking search. It tells you where to call to confirm the hold.
To request the full police report behind a Daily Dispatch entry, file a public records request with the Alaska Department of Public Safety. The portal sits at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Include the incident number and the date. You will get a tracking key from the system. Most requests come back in 10 working days under AS 40.25.110.
DOC Custody and VINE
Once a person from the borough lands at a state facility, the easiest way to find them is the Alaska VINE system. VINE is free. Call 1-800-247-9763 or visit vinelink.com. You can search by name or by offender ID. Sign up for alerts to get a phone call or email when the person is released, moved, or escapes.
The Alaska Department of Corrections runs 13 facilities. Most Aleutians East Borough holds end up in Anchorage, Kodiak, or the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer. The choice often depends on flight schedules out of King Cove and Sand Point. Travel from the chain to the road system can take a day or two when weather hits.
Note: VINE is confidential and the person you track will not know you signed up for status alerts.
How to File a Records Request
Both Sand Point Police and King Cove Police take public records requests by mail, in person, or by email. Start by calling the office to confirm the exact form and current fees. Then download or pick up the Public Records Request Form. Fill in the requestor name, address, phone, and email. List the subject's full legal name and date of birth. Add the date of the arrest, the place, and the case number if you have one. Sign and date the form.
Sand Point asks for a copy of a government photo ID with each request. The form goes back to the department in person, by mail, or by email. The Alaska Public Records Act gives the agency 10 business days for an initial response. Simple booking records run 5 to 10 days. Complex requests can take 20 to 30 days. Historical records may take longer.
Standard fees in the borough run about $0.25 per page for paper, $0.03 per page for electronic copies, $5 per certified copy, $5 per photograph, and $15 per CD or DVD for audio or video. The first five person hours of search time in a calendar month are free under AS 40.25.110. Time after that gets billed at the agency hourly rate.
What a Booking Record Shows
A 24 Hour Booking record from King Cove or Sand Point Police covers a long list of fields. Each one helps confirm that the person on the page is the same person you are looking for.
