Fairbanks Police Department Booking Releases

The Fairbanks Police Department handles all urban policing within city limits. FPD is at 800 Cushman Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The main line is (907) 459-6780. The department handles patrol, investigations, and emergency response. When an FPD officer makes an arrest, the suspect is booked and transported to the Fairbanks Correctional Center.

FPD creates the initial Fairbanks Booking Releases record at the time of arrest. That file includes the name, date of birth, charges, and booking time. Records requests can be submitted to the department at the Cushman Street address. You need to include the name of the person, the date of the incident, and the type of file you want. The department follows the Alaska Public Records Act for all releases, so some data may be held back if it falls under an exemption in AS 40.25.120.

The North Pole Police Department serves the nearby community of North Pole. Some arrests near the border between the two cities could be handled by either agency. The Alaska State Troopers B Detachment also works in the greater Fairbanks area and covers unincorporated parts of the borough. Trooper dispatch for the Interior is (907) 451-5100.

FCC processes every Fairbanks Booking Releases case. The booking steps include fingerprints, a photo, medical screening, and a custody classification.
