Kenai Courts and Criminal Case Records

Search Kenai Criminal Records Online

CourtView Public Access covers Kenai Third Judicial District cases with party names, charge codes, and case status dating back to 1990 for the Kenai Peninsula Borough area.

CourtView only shows public case data. Sealed records, juvenile cases, and some restricted filings do not appear. If a case seems to be missing, try an alternate spelling or call the Kenai courthouse at (907) 283-3110. Clerks can confirm whether a record exists during business hours without disclosing sealed case details.

Kenai Police Department Records

The Kenai Police Department is at 107 S. Willow Street, Kenai, AK 99611. The non-emergency line is (907) 283-7879. KPD records include incident reports, arrest logs, and police files that are separate from court records. You need to request police records from KPD directly, not from the courthouse. KPD has an online records request form that makes the process straightforward.

The Kenai Police Department website at kenai.city/police is the starting point for KPD records requests, warrant information, and other law enforcement resources for the city of Kenai.

To submit a records request online, use the KPD public records form at forms.kenai.city/Forms/kpd_police_record_request. Submit one case per request. Include the case number if you have it. Requests without a case number take longer because staff must search by name and date. Documents and any media (photos, audio, video) must be requested on separate forms.

The KPD records request form is an online submission tool that routes your request directly to the KPD Records Division for police reports, incident records, and related Kenai law enforcement files.

Alaska State Troopers at the Soldotna Post (1569 S. Binkley Street, Soldotna, AK 99669, phone (907) 262-4453) also serve parts of the Kenai area and surrounding unincorporated communities. Trooper records go through dpsalaska.justfoia.com/publicportal. Under the Alaska Public Records Act, agencies must respond within 10 business days under AS 40.25.100.
