Juneau Booking Releases Snapshot
Juneau Police and Booking Releases
The Juneau Police Department is the main source of booking data for the city and borough. The department sits at 6255 Alaway Avenue, Juneau, AK 99801, and you can call the records desk at (907) 586-0600. Because Juneau has a unified city and borough form of government, JPD does the work that would fall to both city police and a borough sheriff in other states. Patrol, traffic, and jail intake all run through one office.
JPD made 1,465 arrests in 2022, per Alaska Department of Public Safety stats. Each arrest creates a booking sheet, a mugshot, and an entry in the Juneau Booking Releases log. You can ask for a copy of any of these by filing a public records request at the JPD records counter. Bring a photo ID, the name of the person, and the date of arrest. Most simple Juneau Booking Releases requests are turned around inside ten working days.
Mugshots, booking photos, and the arrest report are open under Alaska Statute 40.25.110-120. JPD may hold back some details if a case is open. Juvenile booking info is sealed by state law and will not be released. The University of Alaska Southeast campus is policed by the UAS Police Department, so booking from a campus call may go through that office before it lands in the Juneau Booking Releases system.
Lemon Creek Correctional Center
Lemon Creek Correctional Center is the main jail tied to Juneau Booking Releases. The facility is run by the Alaska Department of Corrections at 1000 Glacier Highway, Juneau, AK 99801. The main phone is (907) 465-6200. Lemon Creek held 18 inmates as of March 31, 2023, but the count moves up and down with court traffic from the Juneau District and Superior Courts.

Juneau Court Records and Booking Data
Once a person is booked into Lemon Creek, the charging papers get filed at the Juneau courthouse. The Alaska Court System runs CourtView, the public case search. You can pull the docket, hearing dates, and bail info for any Juneau Booking Releases case. Type the name into the form at courts.alaska.gov/main/search-cases.htm.
This page outlines how to look up Juneau Booking Releases through state, court, and local channels. It is a good cross-check before you file an APRA request.
Note: Court-issued release paperwork and bail bond forms can be downloaded from courts.alaska.gov/forms/index.htm and filed at the Juneau clerk window.
Filing APRA Requests in Juneau
The Alaska Public Records Act, set in AS 40.25.110-220, gives you the right to ask for Juneau Booking Releases records. Send the request straight to JPD or to the state Department of Public Safety online portal. The DPS portal is at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. You can file from any device, upload a photo ID, and pay copy fees by card.
Spell out what you want. Name the person, list the date range, and state the kind of record (booking sheet, mugshot, release date, arrest report). The DPS routes the file to JPD or the right trooper post. The act gives the agency ten working days to reply. Some Juneau Booking Releases files come back the same week.
Read the full APRA text and case law at law.alaska.gov/doclibrary/APRA.html before you write the request. The page from the Alaska Department of Law lays out what is open and what gets held back. Juvenile cases, sealed files, and some victim info under AS 12.62 stay private. The rest of the Juneau Booking Releases file should be open.
Federal and Marine Bookings
Some Juneau arrests do not land in Lemon Creek. Federal cases go to the U.S. District Court in Juneau, and the inmate is housed in a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility. To track a federal Juneau Booking Releases file, use the BOP Inmate Locator at bop.gov/inmateloc. Search by name or BOP register number.
Marine and waterway crimes near Juneau are handled by Alaska Wildlife Troopers and the U.S. Coast Guard. Booking from those calls still flows through state or federal systems. The Daily Dispatch press log from Alaska State Troopers lists both road and marine arrests. Read it at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov and filter by date.
Legal Help in Juneau
If a loved one shows up in the Juneau Booking Releases log, you may need a lawyer fast. The Alaska Public Defender Agency has a Juneau office and takes most felony and misdemeanor cases for people who cannot pay. The Office of Public Advocacy steps in when the public defender has a conflict. Both offices are tied into the courthouse on Fourth Street.
Alaska Legal Services Corporation handles civil fallout from arrest, like housing and family law. The Alaska Bar Association also runs a free lawyer referral line. Call the bar to get a name in Juneau. Many local firms give a short first meeting at no cost.
The Alaska Court System self-help center has free forms and step-by-step guides. You can pick up bail bond papers, release motions, and victim notification forms at the Juneau courthouse clerk window. The clerk does not give legal advice, but staff can show you which form to file. If the booking ties to a domestic violence call, Aiding Women in Abuse and Rape Emergencies (AWARE) in Juneau runs a 24-hour hotline and shelter.
Types of Juneau Booking Releases
A Juneau Booking Releases file is not one paper. It is a stack of forms made at intake and at release. Each file may hold a booking sheet, a mugshot and side profile, a fingerprint card, a property log, an intake medical screen, bail or bond papers, and the release date with the type of release. Some items, like the medical screen and any juvenile data, are kept private under state law. The rest is open to the public under APRA.
Short-term holding at Juneau city facilities keeps a smaller file. The full Juneau Booking Releases record builds up once the person is moved to Lemon Creek. Ask for the booking sheet by date and full name. The DOC will pull the file from its main database. Mugshots are usually the fastest part of the file to come back.
