How Aleutians East Borough Busted Mugshots Work

The borough sits at the tail end of the Alaska Peninsula. Sand Point is the seat. King Cove, Cold Bay, False Pass, Nelson Lagoon, Akutan, and Belkofski round out the seven communities. There are around 3,400 year-round residents. The borough has no sheriff. Most arrests are made by the Alaska State Troopers out of the King Salmon post, with help from Village Public Safety Officers in the smaller settlements. Troopers patrol by aircraft when the weather lets them.

When a person is booked, the trooper or VPSO takes a front and side mugshot, prints, and a short property list. The arrestee is then flown to Anchorage Correctional Complex or another state facility. The borough does not run a jail, so there is no local jail roster to check. Inmate lookups happen through the state DOC. Statewide dispatch can be reached at (907) 269-5511 if you need help finding the post that handled a specific call. The Alaska Public Records Act (AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.295) sets the rules for who can ask for arrest records and how the troopers must respond.

Borough administration is run from a small staff in Sand Point and a regional office in Anchorage. The clerk does not handle police records.
