Hoonah-Angoon Busted Mugshots

Hoonah-Angoon Census Area busted mugshots are booking photos taken when a person is arrested in this rural Southeast Alaska region. Most arrests come from the Alaska State Troopers Juneau Post, the small Hoonah Police Department, or the Angoon Public Safety Department. You can search Hoonah-Angoon busted mugshots and case files through CourtView and the Alaska Department of Corrections offender lookup. The tool below pulls open arrest data from court and jail sources. This page lists the local agencies, the court of record, and the steps to get a copy of any arrest report or booking photo from the area.

Hoonah-Angoon Busted Mugshots and Arrest Records

The Hoonah-Angoon Census Area is one of the most spread out parts of Alaska. There is no central county sheriff. Public safety is split between three groups. The Alaska State Troopers cover all unincorporated land. The Hoonah Police Department covers the city of Hoonah. The Angoon Public Safety Department covers Angoon. Each of these holds its own arrest files, booking photos, and incident logs. To find a specific busted mugshot you need to figure out which agency made the stop.

Arrest records here are public under the Alaska Public Records Act, AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.220. The Act says any person can ask for a public record. There are a few clear limits. Juvenile records are sealed. Open cases can be held back. Victim and witness names are pulled from any release. Sealed and expunged cases get a flat denial. The agency has 10 working days to reply to a request under AS 40.25.120.

The list of facts in a Hoonah-Angoon arrest record is set by state rule. You will see the full legal name, date of birth, height, weight, hair color, eye color, and a physical description. The record also has the arrest date, arrest time, the place where the stop took place, the arresting agency, the officer name, and the statute cited for the charge. Booking data has the front and profile mugshot, the ten-print fingerprint card, the property inventory, and a booking number that follows the case through the system.

Alaska State Troopers Juneau Post

The Alaska State Troopers Juneau Post is the main law enforcement agency for the unincorporated parts of Hoonah-Angoon. The post phone is (907) 225-5118 and the dispatch line is (907) 269-5511. Trooper arrests are logged in the daily dispatch system and forwarded to the Department of Public Safety Records Section in Anchorage. To get a Trooper arrest report by mail, send your request to 5700 East Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99507.

The screen shown here is the Trooper daily dispatch portal. It logs new arrests and incidents from across the state, including the Hoonah-Angoon area. You can filter by date and post. The dispatch entries do not show the booking photo, but they give you the case number and the charge so you can pull the rest from the court file.

Note: Arrest reports with pending charges can be held back under AS 40.25.120(a)(6)(B), so an open case will not produce a full report.

Hoonah Police Department

The Hoonah Police Department is a small municipal force. The mailing address is P.O. Box 360, Hoonah, AK 99829, and the main phone is (907) 945-3655. The department handles all city law enforcement inside Hoonah, including arrests, traffic stops, and warrant service. Coordination with the State Troopers is common when a case crosses jurisdiction lines or needs more resources than the city can spare.

To get a Hoonah Police arrest report you must send a written request to the chief of police. Walk-in requests are allowed during normal business hours, but the office is sometimes closed when officers are on call. The records clerk can pull a booking photo if the case is closed. Open and pending cases will not be released. Fees for copies are charged at the cost set under the Alaska Public Records Act.

Angoon Public Safety Department

The Angoon Public Safety Department is at 700 Aandeina Street, Angoon, AK 99820. The phone is (907) 788-3641. This office handles public safety duties for the small island community of Angoon. Tribal law enforcement runs through the Angoon Community Association in coordination with the State Troopers. Arrests in Angoon are processed through the local office and then routed to the Juneau court for arraignment.

You can ask for an arrest report or a copy of a booking photo by mail or in person. The office is small and may need a few days to find the file. Get the date of arrest and the name of the person before you call. That helps the staff find the right record without a long search. The department also coordinates with the State Troopers Juneau Post for backup and major investigations.

Hoonah-Angoon Court Records and CourtView

Hoonah-Angoon falls under the First Judicial District. The court of record for the area is the Alaska Court System Juneau Trial Courts at 123 4th Street, P.O. Box 114100, Juneau, AK 99811-4100. The phone is (907) 463-4700. The Superior Court hears felony cases, civil cases over $100,000, domestic relations, and probate. The District Court hears misdemeanors, civil cases up to $100,000, and small claims up to $10,000. Magistrate judges hold proceedings in Hoonah and Angoon on set dates each year.

The CourtView search page shown here is the main free tool for the public. You can pull up a Hoonah-Angoon case by case number, party name, or ticket number. Cases use the Juneau location code. A typical number looks like 1JU-22-00001CR. The 1 stands for the First Judicial District, JU is the Juneau location, 22 is the year, and CR is the criminal suffix. The records page at records.courts.alaska.gov works the same way.

Court fees are set in state. Certified copies are $5 for the first page and $2 for each extra page. Plain copies are $2 per page. The clerk needs the case number to find a file fast. If you only have a name, give the date of birth too. That cuts down on duplicate hits. Under AS 22.35.030, certain dismissed criminal records come off the public CourtView display 60 days after the case ends.

Inmate Lookup for Hoonah-Angoon Arrests

People arrested in the Hoonah-Angoon area are usually moved to Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau for booking and pretrial holding. Lemon Creek is at 2000 Lemon Creek Road, Juneau, AK 99801, and the main phone is (907) 465-6200. The facility holds a small number of inmates, mostly from Southeast Alaska. The DOC website has the offender lookup tool, the visiting rules, and the bail process for the facility.

The DOC home page shown above lists every state facility and links out to the offender search and the VINE tool. To find a person held after a Hoonah or Angoon arrest, type the last name and first name into the offender locator. The result will show the current facility, the booking number, and a tentative release date if one has been set.

VINE is the second main tool. You can call 1-800-247-9763 or visit vinelink.com to track an inmate. VINE is run with the Alaska Department of Corrections and is free. You can also sign up for free alerts when an inmate is moved or released. Notifications go out at any hour, so be ready for a 3 AM call if your case ends with a release.

Note: VINE is anonymous and confidential, which means the inmate will not know who has signed up to get notifications about their case.

Hoonah-Angoon Background Checks and Statutes

For a full Hoonah-Angoon background check, the state runs the Criminal Records and Identification Bureau out of Anchorage. A name-based check is $20 and a fingerprint check is $35. The fingerprint check is the more accurate of the two. Walk-in hours are 8:15 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday. You can fax a name-based form to (907) 269-5091 or mail it to 5700 East Tudor Road. Under AS 12.62.160, any person can ask for criminal justice information from the state, but misuse of the data can bring its own charges.

The full text of the Alaska Public Records Act sits with the state legislature. The Alaska Department of Law APRA page walks you through how to write a good request and what an agency can and cannot charge for. You should be specific about the date, the location, and the people on the report. Vague requests slow things down. The clearer you are, the faster the clerk can find the file.

Court records of dismissed criminal cases can come off the public site under AS 22.35.030. Arrest records with no conviction can also be sealed under AS 12.62.180 if the case came from mistaken identity or a false report. To start that process you have to file a written motion in the Juneau court. The clerk has the forms.
