Dillingham Census Area 24 Hour Booking

Dillingham Census Area 24 Hour Booking records cover people taken into custody in the city of Dillingham and across the wider Bristol Bay region of Western Alaska. The booking log here is split between the Dillingham Police Department, the Alaska State Troopers C Detachment hub post, and the local trial court. This page lays out where to look for recent arrests, how to file a records request, and how to confirm custody status. You can run a name search through the state CourtView system, the trooper Daily Dispatch, or the VINE inmate locator to find a Dillingham booking record.

Dillingham Police Booking Records

The Dillingham Police Department is the main local source for 24 Hour Booking data inside city limits. The records unit takes report requests in person or in writing. Police reports are only kept for incidents within Dillingham city limits. For arrests outside city lines, you must go to the Alaska State Troopers. The department uses a Records Request Form for all public information requests. Standard processing time is ten business days. Some requests run longer if a legal review is needed first.

You can reach the records unit by phone at 907-842-5212 or by fax at 907-842-2060. Mail requests go to PO Box 889, 141 Main Street, Dillingham, AK 99576. Standard copy fees apply to each Dillingham 24 Hour Booking report. Fee amounts follow the city clerk's current schedule. Pay at the time of pickup. Bring photo ID. The records clerk can also point you to court contacts if your case has moved into the Dillingham trial court file.

Most Dillingham bookings end up in the local jail holding area before transfer. The town does not run a long-term jail. People held more than a few hours are moved to a Department of Corrections facility for further processing. Charges then post to CourtView once the case is filed.

Alaska Troopers Dillingham Post

The Alaska State Troopers C Detachment runs the Dillingham hub post. C Detachment covers Western Alaska, including all of the Dillingham Census Area. Troopers handle arrests in unincorporated land and serve as backup for the small village departments and village public safety officers. The Dillingham hub is the regional center for trooper work in Bristol Bay. From here, troopers fly to remote villages by small plane to respond to calls and make arrests.

Trooper arrests post to the Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch each day. Each entry shows an incident number, date, time, charge, and the facility where the person was remanded. A typical incident number looks like AK26021492. The Daily Dispatch is the fastest way to find Dillingham booking records that came from a trooper arrest. You can search by date or run a text search by name.

For records requests with the troopers, use the DPS FOIA portal. The portal lets you upload a request and track it with a confirmation number. Include the incident date, location, and the names of any parties. Most replies come back inside the ten-day window set by AS 40.25.110.

Dillingham Court Case Lookup

The Alaska Court System runs the Dillingham trial court at 501 Seward Street. Phone is (907) 842-5215. The court is part of the Third Judicial District. Both criminal and civil cases for the area are filed here. The court clerk takes copy requests during business hours. Certified copies cost ten dollars for the first page.
