How Lake and Peninsula Borough Busted Mugshots Are Filed

There is no borough police department. Law enforcement falls to the Alaska State Troopers at the King Salmon post. You can reach them at (907) 246-3464. The post handles all calls from King Salmon, Naknek, and the small villages that dot the peninsula. Village Public Safety Officers provide first response in more remote spots, but the troopers handle the actual booking and report writing.

When a trooper or VPSO makes an arrest in Lake and Peninsula Borough, the suspect is taken to King Salmon for processing. A mugshot is taken along with prints. Because there is no local jail, the person is then flown to a state facility. That could be Anchorage Correctional Complex, Wildwood in Kenai, or another site depending on the charges and bed space. The booking record stays with the state Department of Public Safety. The borough clerk at P.O. Box 495, King Salmon, AK 99613, phone (907) 246-3421, keeps property records and meeting minutes but does not hold police files or busted mugshots.

Tribal law enforcement may handle some matters in certain villages under jurisdiction agreements. Those cases can be harder to track through state systems.
