Eagle River Booking Releases are processed through the Anchorage Police Department since Eagle River is part of the Municipality of Anchorage. This community also hosts the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center, the largest women's prison in Alaska. You can search Eagle River Booking Releases by name, date, or charge through the state inmate locator, the APD records portal, and the Alaska Court System.

The main line is (907) 786-8600.

When APD makes an arrest in Eagle River, the suspect is processed through the same system as any Anchorage arrest. The officer creates the initial Eagle River Booking Releases record at the scene or the station. That file includes the name, date of birth, charges, and booking time. Male suspects typically go to the Anchorage Correctional Complex at 1400 East 4th Avenue. Female suspects may go to the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center right in Eagle River.

The Alaska State Troopers A Detachment also works in and around Eagle River. AST dispatch for the area is (907) 269-5511. Trooper arrests in Eagle River follow the same booking steps. The arrest record ends up in the state system no matter which agency made it.

Hiland Mountain Correctional Center

The Hiland Mountain Correctional Center sits at 9101 Hesterberg Road, Eagle River, AK 99577. The phone is (907) 694-9511. HMCC is the largest women's prison in Alaska. It holds up to 415 female inmates. The facility runs at medium and close security levels. It is operated by the Alaska Department of Corrections.

HMCC handles booking for female arrests from across the state, not just Eagle River. So a search for a female Eagle River Booking Releases case may lead you to Hiland Mountain rather than the Anchorage Correctional Complex. The facility has programs for skill development, education, and treatment. HMCC also houses the state's women's work release program. Visits must be scheduled ahead of time by calling the facility.
