Wrangell 24 Hour Booking Lookup

Wrangell City and Borough 24 Hour Booking records cover anyone arrested by the Wrangell Police Department or held under contract jail services in town. Wrangell sits in Southeast Alaska. The borough has a unified home rule government and a single Public Safety Building that holds the police, dispatch, and courthouse. To run a Wrangell 24 Hour Booking search, contact the police records desk, file an APRA request, or use CourtView and VINE to track court and state custody data.

Wrangell Police Department Records

The Wrangell Police Department is the main place to start for Wrangell 24 Hour Booking lookups. The station sits at 215 Front Street, Wrangell, AK 99929. Call (907) 874-3304 for booking and records info. The department runs patrol, investigation, warrant service, and the local jail.

Wrangell uses a contract jail setup for short-term holds. The Public Safety Building is a two-story wood frame building. The first floor holds the police station, jail cells, and dispatch center. The second floor holds the courthouse and a public records area. That setup keeps most Wrangell 24 Hour Booking actions in one place. Booking includes prints, photos, and a record of charges.

Records requests come in writing under the Alaska Public Records Act. File the request with the department. List the person's full name, date of birth, and date of arrest if known. Booking sheets, mugshots, and arrest reports are open under state law. Fees may apply for copies. The records desk takes 5 to 10 business days to fill most requests.

Below is the Wrangell Police Department main page. The City and Borough of Wrangell publishes police info at wrangell.com.

This page is the entry point for any Wrangell 24 Hour Booking question. It links to records request forms and lists the police phone line for jail roster checks.

Wrangell Jail and State Transfers

Wrangell has no state DOC facility of its own. The local jail is a temporary hold spot for arrestees pending arraignment or transfer. Anyone facing serious charges is moved to the Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau. Lemon Creek is the closest Alaska Department of Corrections facility for Wrangell residents.

To check if a Wrangell arrestee is in state custody, use the Alaska VINE system. VINE tracks all Alaska DOC inmates. Search by name or ID. Service is free. It runs 24 hours a day. Sign up to get an alert when the person is released, transferred, or escapes. Call 1-800-247-9763 for live help. TTY is at 1-866-847-1298.

For local short-term holds, call the Wrangell Police line. The duty officer can confirm whether a person is in city custody. Wrangell does not run a public web jail roster. Direct contact is the way to go.

Wrangell Court Records and CourtView

Wrangell court cases run through the Juneau court system in the First Judicial District. The Alaska Court System publishes CourtView as the public case search. Search by name, case number, or ticket number. CourtView shows case type, charges, hearing dates, and docket entries.

The Wrangell courthouse sits on the second floor of the Public Safety Building. Local hearings, arraignments, and minor case work happen there. Trial court matters move to Juneau. Certified copies can be pulled at the local clerk window or at the Juneau court clerk. The court keeps a public access terminal at the local courthouse.

Below is the CourtView search page. The Alaska Court System publishes the case lookup at records.courts.alaska.gov.

Use CourtView to track a Wrangell case once it has been filed in the Juneau trial court. Most filings show up within a day or two of arrest.

Alaska State Troopers Coverage

The Alaska State Troopers cover the unincorporated parts of the borough and back up the local police on bigger cases. Trooper arrests are posted on the Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch. Each entry shows date, time, place, charge, and remand facility. Wrangell falls under A Detachment for Southeast Alaska.

To file a records request with the troopers, use the online portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. The portal gives back a request number and security key for tracking. Most trooper requests clear in 10 working days under AS 40.25.110.

For long-term criminal history beyond a fresh 24 Hour Booking, run a check through the Alaska DPS Records and Identification Bureau. The fee is $20 for a name-based check and $35 for fingerprints. Reach the bureau at (907) 269-5767. The office is at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage.

Wrangell Public Records Requests

The Alaska Public Records Act, codified at AS 40.25.100 through AS 40.25.295, lets the public request police and arrest records. The City and Borough of Wrangell takes records requests through both the police records desk for booking files and through the borough clerk for general public records. The clerk's office is at P.O. Box 531, Wrangell, AK 99929. Call the borough at (907) 874-2381.

The City and Borough of Wrangell uses a records retention schedule for clerk and assembly files. There is no separate online inmate search portal for Wrangell, so direct contact is needed. Mugshots and booking photos can be obtained through public records requests under standard APRA rules.

Some records stay closed. Juvenile cases, sex assault victim names under AS 12.61.140, and active investigation files may be held back. The Alaska Department of Law APRA guide walks through the rules. Most basic 24 Hour Booking data is open to the public.

Wrangell Public Safety Building Layout

The Wrangell Public Safety Building is the center of all booking work in town. It is a two-story wood frame building on Front Street. The first floor holds the police station, the jail cells, and the dispatch center. The second floor holds the courthouse and the public records office. That compact layout means a Wrangell 24 Hour Booking, the arraignment, and the records request can all happen in the same building. Most small Alaska towns do not have this kind of setup.

The jail on the first floor is a contract facility. It is not a full state DOC site. Holds are short. Anyone facing a serious charge or a long wait for trial gets moved to Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau. The dispatch center on the same floor handles 911 calls and radio contact with troopers in the area. That dispatch log is part of the public record and can be requested under APRA rules. Wrangell booking records stay with the police desk on the first floor. Ask for the duty officer if you need a same-day check on a fresh Wrangell 24 Hour Booking hold.

Wrangell Sex Offender Registry Lookup

The Alaska Sex Offender Registry is run by the Department of Public Safety. Search by name, zip code, or city. Wrangell residents on the list show photos, addresses, and conviction details. The registry is separate from the 24 Hour Booking log. Use it for status checks after a conviction, not for fresh arrest data. State law at AS 12.63 sets the registration rules.

For fresh booking news, the Wrangell Police records desk and the trooper Daily Dispatch are still the two best public sources. Local press releases sometimes break before full records can be pulled.
