Search Wasilla Booking Releases

Wasilla Booking Releases track every arrest, intake, and jail release made in the heart of the Mat-Su Valley. You can search Wasilla Booking Releases by name, date, or facility through the Wasilla Police Department, Mat-Su Pretrial Facility, the state VINE inmate locator, and the Alaska court case search. Most local bookings start at the Wasilla PD at 290 E Herning Avenue and move on to Mat-Su Pretrial in Palmer or Goose Creek Correctional Center. This page walks you through each office, each form, and each online tool for the city.

Wasilla Police Booking Releases

The Wasilla Police Department is the main source for Wasilla Booking Releases. The city office is at 290 E Herning Avenue, Wasilla, AK 99654. The non-emergency line is (907) 352-5401. That number also serves as the Alaska State Troopers B Detachment dispatch for the Mat-Su Valley, so one call can pull up both city and trooper booking info.

Wasilla PD handles patrol, investigations, and records work for the city. Officers book people into short-term holding, then move them on to Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer for longer stays. Arrest records, mugshots, and release times are all logged at the department. Under the Alaska Public Records Act (AS 40.25.110 to 40.25.220), most of those files are open to the public. The department does charge a fee for records requests and does not release drafts or files with active charges until the case is done.

The city has its own Public Records Request page. File online or print the form at cityofwasilla.gov/375/Public-Records. The screenshot below shows the request page.

The form asks for the person's name, the date of the arrest, and the reason for the ask. Staff route each request to the right office. Most replies come back in under 10 working days.

Mat-Su Pretrial and Wasilla Transfers
