Search College Alaska Arrest Records

College arrest records are held by the Alaska State Troopers Fairbanks Post and the Fairbanks Police Department, depending on which agency made the arrest. College is a census-designated place in Fairbanks North Star Borough, situated directly west of Fairbanks city limits. Because it borders the city, both agencies may respond to incidents there. All resulting arrest records flow to the Fairbanks Superior and District Courts, which are searchable through CourtView. This page covers every source for College arrest records and how to get them.

College Alaska Arrest Records Sources

College is one of the larger CDPs in Fairbanks North Star Borough. It sits just outside Fairbanks city limits, which means Fairbanks Police Department patrols do not automatically extend there. Alaska State Troopers from the Fairbanks Post are the primary law enforcement agency for College as an unincorporated community. However, the Fairbanks Police Department also responds to incidents in College when proximity and available units make it practical, or when a call originates close to the city boundary.

The result is that College arrest records may sit with either the State Troopers or the Fairbanks Police Department. If you are not sure which agency made an arrest, start with CourtView. The Alaska Court System CourtView portal shows the arresting agency on each case record once charges are filed. That will tell you where to direct a records request for the underlying police report.

For full criminal history checks that go beyond a single case, the Alaska DPS Criminal Records and Identification Bureau maintains the statewide CJIS database. That database includes all Alaska arrests, whether made by State Troopers or local departments like FPD.

Fairbanks Arrest Records Trooper Post Records

The Alaska State Troopers Fairbanks Post is located at 1979 Peger Road, Fairbanks, AK 99709. The main number is (907) 451-5100. This post covers College and the other unincorporated areas of Fairbanks North Star Borough. Troopers here handle patrol, criminal investigation, and law enforcement coverage across the borough outside Fairbanks city limits.

Arrest records from Trooper-made arrests in College are requested through the Alaska DPS public records portal. The portal handles requests for incident reports and arrest records from Alaska State Troopers statewide. Include the incident date, location, and case number in your request. You will receive a response or acknowledgment within 10 business days under the Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.110.

Exemptions under AS 40.25.120 may apply to some records. Active investigations, victim privacy protections, and safety-related restrictions can result in full or partial denial of a records request. The agency must cite the specific exemption if it withholds records.

Fairbanks Police Department and College

The Fairbanks Police Department is headquartered at 911 Cushman Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The main number is (907) 450-6500. FPD has jurisdiction inside Fairbanks city limits, but officers respond to incidents near the College area on a mutual aid basis and in situations where they are the nearest available unit. If FPD officers made the arrest in question, the record lives with FPD, not with the State Troopers.

FPD handles records requests through its own process. Contact the department directly at (907) 450-6500 to ask about requesting a specific incident report or arrest record. Most requests need the case number or incident number, along with the approximate date and location of the arrest. Written requests are typically required. Valid ID may also be required.

Like all Alaska law enforcement agencies, FPD operates under the Alaska Public Records Act. Responses are due within 10 business days of a complete written request. If a request covers records that are part of an open investigation, the release may be delayed or restricted under AS 40.25.120 until the case is closed.

Note: FPD publishes some crime data and activity reports publicly. Check the FPD website for any online resources that may give you quick access to recent activity near College before submitting a formal request.

What College Arrest Records Contain

A standard arrest record for a College incident includes the arrested person's full name and known aliases, date of birth, race, sex, height, and weight. Physical identifiers like hair color, eye color, scars, and tattoos may also be noted. The record shows the date, time, and location of the arrest, the arresting officer's name, and the agency that made the arrest.

Booking records from the correctional facility add the charges filed, the booking number, a booking photo, and fingerprints. Bail or bond information is recorded. Once a court case opens at the Fairbanks courthouse, a case number is linked to the arrest record. As the case moves forward, dispositions and sentencing information are added to the file.

Full criminal history reports from the DPS bureau include past conviction data, incarceration history, and current case status. The definitions for these data categories are set out in AS 12.62.900. Those reports go beyond a single arrest to capture a person's full Alaska criminal record.
