Eligible types include burglary, trespassing, fraud, property damage, shoplifting, telephonic harassment, and theft. Firearms, drug, and vehicle theft incidents require a phone report to dispatch.

How to Request Southeast Fairbanks Police Records
Alaska public records requests go through the Alaska Public Records Act, found at AS 40.25.100 through AS 40.25.295. This law covers state agencies including Alaska State Troopers. Any person can request records during normal office hours. You do not have to give a reason for wanting the records. The agency must respond within 10 working days, and if more time is needed, it must notify you in writing.
To request police records tied to the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, submit your request to the AST post that responded to the incident. Delta Junction Post handles most of the agricultural areas and the highway communities to the south. Tok Post handles the Alaska Highway communities to the east. Put your request in writing. Include the date and location of the incident, a report or case number if you have it, and the names of the people involved. Written requests get processed more reliably than verbal ones. Mail, fax, or in-person delivery are all acceptable.
Some records are not releasable. AS 40.25.120 exempts records that could interfere with active investigations, juvenile records, and some medical information. Criminal records are governed under AS 12.62.160, which keeps them confidential outside specific authorized uses. If a request is denied, you have 60 working days to appeal to the agency head. After that, Superior Court review is the remaining option.
Fee rules under AS 40.25.110 allow agencies to charge for actual staff costs when fulfilling a request takes more than five person-hours per month. Costs of $50 or less are paid on pickup; costs over $50 must be prepaid. Veterans requesting records for VA purposes may qualify for a fee waiver.
Note: The 10-day response window applies to the initial response, not necessarily delivery of the records. The agency may extend the deadline in writing if a complex request requires more time.
Southeast Fairbanks Court Records and CourtView
Court cases from the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area are handled through the Alaska court system. Delta Junction has a district court that serves the community and surrounding area. The Alaska CourtView portal provides free, public access to district and superior court case records across the state. You can search by name, case number, or date range. CourtView is a court record search tool, not a criminal history check.
Under AS 22.35.030, certain cases are removed from CourtView. These include sealed cases, juvenile matters, and acquittals or dismissals more than 60 days old. A record not appearing in CourtView does not mean it does not exist; it may have been removed under one of these provisions. The Alaska Trial Courts directory lists current addresses and contacts for all courthouses, including the Delta Junction court.
Copies of court documents cost $5 for the first page and $3 per page after that. Certified copies run $10 plus $3 per additional page. Staff research time is billed at $30 per hour when extended work is needed. Requests can go to the clerk of court in person, by mail, by fax, or by email.
The Alaska DPS online criminal history portal allows you to request your own name-based criminal history for $20, drawing records from the statewide APSIN database.
The portal sends results by email and is the fastest way to get a self-requested criminal history record without visiting a DPS office in person.
Criminal History Checks for Southeast Fairbanks Records
The DPS Records and Identification Bureau is located at 5700 E Tudor Road, Anchorage AK 99507. Phone is (907) 269-5767. The bureau manages APSIN, which is the central repository for Alaska criminal judgments. Name-based criminal history searches cost $20 and are done through the online self-service portal. Fingerprint-based searches, which are more thorough and harder to defeat by name variation, are available through the bureau directly and take longer to process.
For those who prefer to submit in person, the Fairbanks DPS office at 1979 Peger Road, Fairbanks AK 99709 accepts walk-in visits. Phone is (907) 451-5100. The Fairbanks office serves as the regional hub for Interior Alaska and is the closest in-person option for residents of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. AS 12.62.110 through 120 governs the criminal history check process and what the results can be used for.
The Alaska Sex Offender Registry is free and public. It covers over 3,640 registered individuals statewide under AS 12.63.100, with updates from HB 66 signed in July 2024. You can search by name or by zip code to find registrations in the census area communities.
Daily Dispatch and Statewide Records Tools
The Alaska DPS Daily Dispatch is a public log of recent Alaska State Trooper activity. You can search it by date range or incident number. It posts summaries of calls and incidents handled by troopers statewide, including the Delta Junction and Tok areas. The log does not include full police reports, but it is useful for confirming that an incident was documented and finding a case number before submitting a formal APRA request.
The Daily Dispatch is updated regularly as reports are cleared by troopers. It is one of the most accessible public-facing windows into recent AST activity and does not require any account or login to use. For Southeast Fairbanks incidents, filter by the relevant date and look for entries noting the Delta Junction or Tok post areas.
The Alaska DPS Daily Dispatch posts public summaries of recent trooper activity across all posts, including those serving the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area.
The dispatch log can be searched by date or incident number and is useful for identifying whether an incident was logged before submitting a formal records request.
