Lake and Peninsula 24 Hour Booking

Lake and Peninsula Borough 24 Hour Booking records cover arrests made by Alaska State Troopers across this huge, road-free borough on the Alaska Peninsula. There is no borough police force and no online jail roster for the area. To run a Lake and Peninsula 24 Hour Booking search you start with the troopers at the Dillingham post, then check CourtView and VINE for the case file and the custody status. This page lays out each step, lists the right contacts, and shows you how to get a booking record from the trooper records team.

Lake and Peninsula Trooper Records

Alaska State Troopers run point on every arrest in Lake and Peninsula Borough. The troopers cover the borough out of the Region H post in Dillingham. There is no borough sheriff and no city police that span the area. The borough is roughly 30,000 square miles of land, with a few hundred year-round residents in each main village. That makes the trooper post the only stop for a Lake and Peninsula 24 Hour Booking request.

Records requests go through the state portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Pick the records request form. Give the full legal name of the person, a date of birth, and the date and place of the arrest. Communities served by the post include Chignik, Egegik, Newhalen, Nondalton, Pilot Point, and Port Heiden. Note the village if you have it. The portal will hand you a request number and a security key. Hold on to both.

The troopers respond under the Alaska Public Records Act. The clock runs ten working days from the day the request comes in. Day zero is the date you file. Day one is the next working day. Most basic 24 Hour Booking log requests come back inside that window. A bigger file or a sealed case may take longer.
