Search College Booking Releases

College Booking Releases cover arrests made by the Alaska State Troopers and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Police Department in this unincorporated community near Fairbanks.

This page walks through every step to find a booking sheet, release date, or charge list for anyone booked in the College area.

Law Enforcement in College

College is an unincorporated community in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. It sits right next to the city of Fairbanks and is centered around the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. Two agencies handle law enforcement here. The Alaska State Troopers B Detachment patrols the area outside the campus. On campus, the UAF Police Department has full arrest powers.

The Alaska State Troopers B Detachment dispatch for the Interior region is (907) 451-5100. Troopers respond to calls in College for crimes, traffic stops, and domestic incidents. When a trooper makes an arrest, the suspect is booked and transferred to the Fairbanks Correctional Center. The UAF Police Department handles crimes on university property. Their arrests also go through the same booking process. Both agencies create College Booking Releases records that end up in the state system.

The Fairbanks Police Department may also respond to some calls near the College border. Jurisdiction lines in the Fairbanks metro area can overlap. If you are not sure which agency handled an arrest, search all three through the state tools listed on this page.

Fairbanks Correctional Center

People arrested in College go to the Fairbanks Correctional Center. The address is 1931 Eagan Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The phone is (907) 458-6700. FCC is a state facility run by the Alaska Department of Corrections. It serves the entire Fairbanks North Star Borough, including College, Badger, and Farmers Loop.

At FCC, staff complete the full booking process for every College Booking Releases case. That includes fingerprints, a photo, medical screening, and a custody classification step. Once the booking is done, the data gets pushed to the state inmate locator within minutes. FCC holds inmates at multiple custody levels. Some people stay there through trial, while others get transferred to larger facilities depending on the charge and sentence.

You can search for anyone held at FCC through the VINE inmate search tool. We pulled a screenshot of the VINE search page at vinelink.vineapps.com/search/AK below.

VINE pulls live data from the Alaska DOC every few minutes. Type a name and the system returns the current jail, custody status, and projected release date. You can set up free alerts so you get a text or call when a status changes.

Filing an APRA Request in College

College Booking Releases are public under the Alaska Public Records Act, AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.220. You do not need a reason to file a request. You do not need to be related to the person. Any member of the public can ask for a booking sheet, a mugshot, or an arrest report tied to a College case.

For trooper records, file through the Department of Public Safety portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com/publicportal. Fill out the form with the name, the rough date of arrest, and the type of file you want. The team reviews each College Booking Releases request against the APRA before releasing the file. Most requests come back within 10 business days. Booking sheets and mugshots are the fastest items to get. For UAF Police records, contact the university police directly since they handle their own records under the same state law.

Some data may be held back. Juvenile records, mental health screening notes, and information from an active investigation can all be kept from the public under AS 40.25.120. Everything else in the College Booking Releases file stays open. Read the APRA summary at law.alaska.gov/doclibrary/APRA.html for a full breakdown of what can and cannot be released. AS 12.62 also covers how criminal justice information is shared across state agencies.

Court Process for College Arrests

After a College arrest, the suspect goes before a judge at the Fairbanks Courthouse. Alaska law requires a first hearing within 24 hours for most charges. The judge reads the charges, sets bail, and assigns a public defender if the person cannot afford a lawyer. Felony cases move to Superior Court. Misdemeanor cases stay at the district level.

The Alaska Public Defender Agency handles most cases where the person has no funds for an attorney. The Office of Public Advocacy picks up cases when the public defender has a conflict. Alaska Legal Services Corporation can assist with civil matters that come up after a booking, like housing or family law issues. Court forms for state cases are posted at courts.alaska.gov/forms/index.htm.
