Juneau Criminal Records Search

Juneau criminal records are maintained by the Alaska Court System, the Juneau Police Department, and the Alaska Department of Public Safety. As Alaska's state capital and the seat of the First Judicial District, Juneau has a full set of court and law enforcement resources. Criminal court cases are searchable for free through CourtView. Police reports must be requested from JPD directly. This guide covers how to access Juneau criminal records from each source, what to expect from the process, and where to go for additional help.

Juneau Superior Court and Criminal Cases

All Juneau criminal cases are filed in the First Judicial District. The Superior Court is located in the Dimond Court Building at 123 4th Street, Juneau, AK 99801. The main court phone number is (907) 463-4700. The Superior Court handles felony cases and serious criminal matters. The District Court, operating at the same address, covers misdemeanors and lower-level offenses. Court hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

For document copies, mail requests submitted to the Juneau court typically take 2 to 4 weeks. If you can visit in person, simple documents may be available more quickly depending on staff availability and workload. The Alaska court directory has full contact details for the Juneau courts and all other Alaska locations. Court forms, including the records request form, are available at courts.alaska.gov/forms. Standard copy fees apply statewide, with current rates listed at courts.alaska.gov/shc/courtfees.htm.

Note: Juneau is Alaska's state capital and handles some court matters unique to state government functions, in addition to standard criminal filings for the City and Borough of Juneau.

Search Juneau Criminal Records Through CourtView

CourtView is the free public access system for Juneau criminal records. Search at records.courts.alaska.gov/eaccess by name, case number, or citation number. No registration is required.

CourtView is useful for confirming case existence, checking status, or pulling a case number before submitting a formal records request. The system covers cases from every Alaska trial court, including both the Superior and District Courts in Juneau. Results show publicly available information only. Some case types have restricted access, and juvenile records are generally not available through public search.

CourtView Public Access is the free starting point for any Juneau criminal records search.

CourtView displays First Judicial District case data for Juneau, including felony and misdemeanor records, charge details, and sentencing information going back to 1990.

Juneau Police Department Records

The Juneau Police Department maintains records separate from the court system. JPD files include incident reports, arrest logs, and investigation documents. These are not available through CourtView. You must request them from JPD directly. The department is located at 6255 Alaway Avenue, Juneau, AK 99801. The non-emergency line is (907) 586-0600. The JPD website is at juneau.org/police. Written requests are accepted by the Records Division, and some records may also be accessible through the online request process.

JPD publishes a weekly active warrant list on its website. The list shows warrants from the past seven days and is updated on a regular schedule. This is a useful tool if you want to check whether a specific person has an outstanding warrant before going through the DPS system. The JPD list is local to Juneau. For statewide active warrants, check the Alaska State Troopers database separately.

When contacting the Records Division, include as much detail as possible: full names, dates, and any case or incident numbers. More specific requests are faster to process and less likely to generate a research fee.

The Juneau Police Department website has information on submitting records requests and accessing the weekly warrant list for the Juneau area.

JPD handles records requests for police reports and incident data covering Juneau. Contact the Records Division at 6255 Alaway Avenue or by phone at (907) 586-0600.

Warrants and Inmate Lookup in Juneau

For active warrants beyond the local JPD list, check the Alaska State Troopers warrant database at dps.alaska.gov/ast/warrants. This covers warrants from all Alaska jurisdictions and is updated daily. It shows names, offense categories, and bond amounts. The Juneau Trooper post handles warrant matters for the First Judicial District area.

Lemon Creek Correctional Center is located in Juneau. It is the state's facility serving the southeast Alaska region. Inmate status at Lemon Creek and all other Alaska correctional facilities can be checked through VINELink. The system lets you search by name, check current custody status, view booking records, and register for free notifications when custody status changes. VINELink covers all state facilities in Alaska, not just the Juneau area.

State Criminal History Records and DPS

For a full criminal history check rather than a single court case, the Alaska Department of Public Safety Criminal Records and Identification Bureau handles statewide records. The DPS walk-in location in Juneau is at 2760 Sherwood Lane, Suite 2A, Juneau, AK 99801. Name-based criminal history searches cost $20.00. Fingerprint-based searches are $35.00 and require an FD-258 card. Mail requests for name-based searches take 5 to 10 business days.

Under AS 12.62.160, you have the right to request and review your own criminal history record from DPS. Requests about your own record use the Request for Criminal Justice Information Form available at the DPS office or through dpsalaska.justfoia.com/publicportal. The JustFOIA portal also accepts Alaska State Trooper records requests. Under the Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.100, agencies must give an initial response within 10 business days of receiving a request.
