Kodiak Island Borough Criminal Records

Kodiak Island Borough criminal records are maintained by the Alaska Court System and the Kodiak Police Department, with the Third Judicial District Superior Court handling all criminal case filings for the borough. You can search case records at no cost through CourtView, submit a records request to the court clerk using form TF-311, or contact the Kodiak Police Department for incident and arrest reports. This guide covers each source for Kodiak Island Borough criminal records and the steps to access them, whether you need a court document, a police report, or an inmate status check.

Kodiak Island Borough Trial Court

The Third Judicial District Superior Court in Kodiak handles all criminal cases filed in Kodiak Island Borough. The court is located at 204 Mission Road in Kodiak and operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The Superior Court takes felony cases and more serious criminal matters. Misdemeanor and lower-level cases go through the District Court, which operates from the same address. Both courts share one records system and the same request process for document copies.

The Kodiak court is part of Alaska's statewide CourtView system. This means basic case information is publicly accessible online without charge. CourtView shows party names, charge details, case status, scheduled hearings, and final dispositions for cases filed since 1990. For cases older than that, you need to submit a written request to the court clerk at 204 Mission Road. Staff can usually tell you on the phone whether a paper record exists before you make the trip or send a request by mail.

Search Kodiak Criminal Records Online

The free public search for Kodiak Island Borough criminal records starts at CourtView. The system is available at records.courts.alaska.gov/eaccess. You can look up cases by party name, case number, or citation number. No account is needed. Results include the case type, charge description, filing date, current status, and disposition. CourtView covers cases from 1990 to the present across all Alaska trial courts, including the Kodiak court.

CourtView Public Access is the main starting point for searching Kodiak Island Borough criminal records at no cost.

CourtView shows charge details, case status, and hearing dates for all Kodiak trial court criminal filings going back to 1990.

To get copies of actual court documents, you need to use form TF-311. Get it through the statewide forms page at courts.alaska.gov/forms. Fill it out completely, listing the case number if you have it, then submit it in person, by mail, or by fax to the court clerk at 204 Mission Road. In-person requests for simple documents can sometimes be fulfilled the same day. Mail and fax requests typically take five to seven business days. If you skip the case number, the court charges a research fee to locate the record, so having that information before you submit saves time and cost.

Copy fees follow the statewide schedule. You can review them at courts.alaska.gov/shc/courtfees.htm. Regular copies cost $5.00 for the first document and $3.00 for each additional one. Certified copies are $10.00 for the first document. A research fee of $30.00 per hour applies when no case number is provided. Payment by cash, check, money order, or credit card is accepted at the courthouse.

Kodiak Police Department Records

The Kodiak Police Department maintains records that are separate from the court system. These include incident reports, arrest logs, and investigation files. If you are looking for a police report related to a specific incident in the city of Kodiak, you need to request it from KPD directly. The department is located at 2160 Mill Bay Road, Kodiak, AK 99615, and can be reached by phone at (907) 486-8000. KPD has a public records request form available on the City of Kodiak website. You can submit it online, by mail, or in person at the department during business hours.

Police records and court records are not the same thing. A KPD incident report documents what officers found and did at the scene. A court case file documents what happened after charges were filed. You may need both depending on what you are researching. KPD records requests are governed by the Alaska Public Records Act under AS 40.25.100, which gives the public a right to inspect and copy government records. Fees for copies and research time may apply.

Note: If the incident occurred outside the city limits of Kodiak but within Kodiak Island Borough, the Alaska State Troopers handled it. Those records go through the Troopers, not KPD.

Trooper records include incident reports, arrest records, and investigation files for all calls handled in the unincorporated parts of the borough. If a criminal case started with a Trooper response, those original police records come from this post, not from KPD.

The fastest way to request Trooper records is through the DPS JustFOIA portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com/publicportal.
