Search Fairbanks Busted Mugshots

Fairbanks busted mugshots come from booking photos taken by the Fairbanks Police Department when a person is arrested and processed in the city. You can search Fairbanks busted mugshots, arrest records, and booking data through the FPD Police to Citizen portal, the city NextRequest system, CourtView, and the Alaska Department of Corrections offender lookup. This page covers each tool, the local fees, forms you need to file, and contact info for the Fairbanks court and police records division.

Fairbanks Police Records and Busted Mugshots

The Fairbanks Police Department has served the city since 1904. FPD runs arrest records and busted mugshots requests through a few channels. The main site at alaskapolice.us has forms you can print and fill out. You can also email forms to fpd@fairbanks.us or bring them to the station at 800 Cushman Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The department posts its citizen resources page with links to request forms, citation info, and stalking protective order packets. FPD grew from 8 officers at its start to a full force that handled 1,127 arrests in 2022 alone.

Of those 1,127 arrests, 1,072 were adults and 55 were juveniles. The crime breakdown shows about half of all offenses were larceny-theft cases. FPD also logged 10 murders, 38 rapes, 32 robberies, 712 assaults, 134 burglaries, and 168 vehicle thefts that year. Each arrest creates a booking record with a front and profile mugshot, fingerprints, and a charge sheet. Those records sit with the department until you ask for them. Juvenile records get sealed when the person turns 18 under AS 47.12.300.

The FPD main page shown above is the first stop for anyone who wants to pull a police report or booking photo in Fairbanks. Citation payments go through the City Clerk, not FPD. If you owe a fine on a traffic ticket, call the clerk office and not the records team.

Note: Stalking protective order packets from FPD must be filed at the courthouse, not at the police station.

Fairbanks Busted Mugshots on the P2C Portal

The Police to Citizen portal is a big deal for Fairbanks busted mugshots. FPD launched it in 2012 and gave it a full update in April 2025. The new version at fairbanksalaska.policetocitizen.com lets you search events by date range and view them on a map of the city. It also links to current active warrants and the national missing persons database. You can submit a report through it without going to the station.

The P2C daily bulletin shows recent arrests with the full name, age, height, weight, and charge description for each person. Not every call for service shows up. The system leaves out sensitive incidents that fall under the Alaska Public Records Act. Events also take time to appear after they are reported, so there is a short lag. Still, this is the fastest free way to check recent Fairbanks arrest activity without filing a formal records request.

The citizen resources page above links to the police records request form, recent police activity, and FPD policies and procedures. It is a good place to start if you are not sure which form you need.

Fairbanks Arrest Records Through NextRequest

The City of Fairbanks runs all formal public records requests through NextRequest. This is a web portal where you type in what you want, attach any case numbers or dates, and submit the request. For FPD records, include the case number if you have it. If you do not, provide the date, time, and location of the incident. The more detail you give, the faster the response.

Fees for copies are $0.25 per page for standard letter or legal size. Color copies run $0.50 per page. A CD or USB with records is $10. Audio from public meetings costs $15 on disc. If a request takes more than five hours of staff time, you pay the personnel costs on top of copy fees. Requests under $5 total are waived since the cost to process payment would be higher than the fee itself. The Fairbanks North Star Borough Clerk handles borough-level requests separate from the city portal.

The NextRequest portal shown above is the formal channel for city records. You can track your request status and message the records team directly through the site. Borough-level records like property files and assembly minutes go through the FNSB Clerk instead.

Note: Certified copies from the borough cost $2 for the first copy and $1 for each one after that.

You can see the charges, the judge, the docket entries, and the case status. Plain copies cost $5 for the first document and $3 for each extra one.

Fairbanks Inmate Search and Jail Roster

People arrested in Fairbanks go to the Fairbanks Correctional Center. The Alaska Department of Corrections runs the offender lookup that covers every state facility. You can search by name or offender ID to find out where a person is held and when they might get out. The DOC site updates regularly but does not post booking photos online.

VINELink is the other tool. It lets you register for free alerts when a custody status changes. You need the person's name and a four-digit PIN for phone alerts. Email alerts do not need a PIN. Call 1-800-247-9763 if you want to use the phone system. The Alaska State Troopers D Detachment also covers the Fairbanks area from their post at 1979 Peger Road. Their daily dispatch logs at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov show recent trooper incidents in the Interior region, including warrant arrests, DUI stops, and assault calls.

• Full name and date of birth for the person you are searching
• Case or incident number from FPD or the court
• Date, time, and location of the arrest if you have it
• Your contact details and reason for the request

Their jurisdiction covers the campus zone bounded by Farmer's Loop Road to the east, Geist Road to the south, Parks Highway to the west, and Yankovich Road to the north.

Fairbanks cases connect to the wider Fairbanks North Star Borough page. The Alaska Public Records Act under AS 40.25.110 sets the framework for all records requests in the city. Agencies must respond within 10 working days. Fees are limited to the actual cost of production. Personnel time can only be billed for work over five staff hours in a single month.

The Alaska Sex Offender Registry lists more than 3,600 registrants statewide. The Alaska Court System also runs an Appellate Case Management System for higher court cases. Fairbanks appeals from the Fourth Judicial District land in that system. Under AS 40.25.120, police may refuse to release a report tied to a pending criminal charge until the district attorney signs off on it.
