Find Badger Jail Mugshots

This page shows how to find a Badger inmate, pull an arrest report, track a case on CourtView, and file a records request for any booking tied to the Badger area. Start with the free tools.

Badger Jail Mugshots Search

Badger is not an incorporated city. It sits northeast of Fairbanks inside the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Because Badger has no police department, most arrests are handled by the Alaska State Troopers Fairbanks Post. The post phone is (907) 451-5100. Troopers book suspects into the Fairbanks Correctional Center. That facility is at 1931 Eagan Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The main phone is (907) 458-6700. FCC has 307 beds and holds pretrial and short-term sentenced inmates.

The fastest way to check Badger jail mugshots is VINE. VINE is free. The tool updates every 15 minutes for Alaska jail facilities. Search by full or partial name at vinelink.com or call 1-800-247-9763. You can set up text or email alerts. VINE shows the inmate name, facility, charges, bail, and a photo if one is on file. The system also tracks release events for crime victims under AS 12.61.015.

Badger jail mugshots are not posted on a free public site. To get a booking photo, file a records request with the Alaska Department of Corrections for state-held photos. Include the booking number if you have it. Write out what you want as "booking photograph." Release depends on AS 40.25.120 privacy rules. The Alaska DOC home page lists the forms and the mailing address for the records unit.

The Fairbanks North Star Borough site links to borough services and nearby agencies that tie into Badger jail mugshots and Fairbanks-area arrest data.

Troopers Handle Badger Arrests

The Alaska State Troopers Fairbanks Post is the lead agency for Badger jail mugshots. Troopers run patrol in the unincorporated parts of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. They answer 911 calls, work traffic, and book suspects. The post phone is (907) 451-5100. Troopers cover Badger, Farmers Loop, Goldstream, and other CDPs around Fairbanks. Badger residents who need to file a police report on a minor crime can call the Fairbanks Post non-emergency line.

Records tied to trooper arrests in Badger go through the Department of Public Safety. The DPS public records portal is at dpsalaska.justfoia.com/publicportal. Create an account, file a new request, and track the status online. Fees apply after the first 5 hours of staff time under AS 40.25.110. The main DPS site at dps.alaska.gov has a link list for every records unit in the state.

The Alaska State Troopers publish a daily dispatch online. It lists arrests and case summaries by date. Search by keyword, name, trooper post, or case number. Find it at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov. Many Badger arrests show up within 24 hours. Some older entries are searchable by date range. The dispatch does not include mugshots.

Fairbanks Correctional Center

The Fairbanks Correctional Center is the main jail for Badger bookings. It is run by the Alaska Department of Corrections. The facility is at 1931 Eagan Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The phone is (907) 458-6700. FCC has 307 beds. It books pretrial detainees, sentenced misdemeanants, and some felons waiting on transfer. Long-term inmates from FCC may be moved to Goose Creek Correctional Center near Wasilla. Women are often moved to Hiland Mountain in Eagle River.

To check if a Badger suspect is held at FCC, use VINE or call the facility direct. Staff can confirm custody by name and date of birth. They can also give bail amount and next court date. For a booking photo, the request must go through the DOC records unit. FCC does not email or text photos. Visiting is by appointment, and visitors must be on the inmate's approved list.

A sample FCC booking record holds these fields: booking number, date and time, full name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, hair and eye color, home address, charges with Alaska Statute cites, warrant info, bail amount, housing unit, and next court date. The mugshot is filed in a separate image record under AS 12.62.180. Release of the photo depends on the privacy balancing test under AS 40.25.120. A written request with a booking number moves faster than a name-only request.

The Alaska Department of Corrections site is the right starting point for any Badger jail mugshots request that must go through state custody channels.

Nearby Police Departments

Fairbanks Police Department and North Pole Police Department are the two city agencies nearest Badger. Both can hold booking data on a Badger arrest if the suspect was caught inside their city limits. Fairbanks PD is at 911 Cushman Street and the main phone is (907) 450-6500. North Pole PD is at 125 Snowman Lane and the main phone is (907) 488-6902. Both run records units and both take public records requests for arrest reports, incident files, and jail booking data.

Fairbanks PD uses a public records request page on the city site. You can file by email, by mail, or in person. Records staff pull arrest reports, call logs, and booking photos when the law allows release. North Pole PD works the same way. Both agencies charge copy fees and may redact info under AS 40.25.120. A written request helps the records clerk pin down what you want. Processing takes 5 to 15 business days in most cases.

Badger Court Records

Badger criminal cases are filed in the Fairbanks Trial Courts. The court is part of the Fourth Judicial District. The clerk is at 101 Lacey Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The phone is (907) 452-9277. CourtView is the free online case search at records.courts.alaska.gov. Search by party name, case number, or ticket number. Most Badger cases show up within a day of filing.

A case page shows charges, bail, hearing dates, and the jail where the suspect is held. Copy fees run $2.50 per page for uncertified copies and $5 plus $2.50 per page for certified ones. To request paper copies of a Fairbanks case file, use the Alaska public courts portal. The portal has the mail-in form and the fee sheet.

Juvenile records are sealed under AS 47.12. Most pre-1990 case files are not in CourtView. Sealed and expunged files need a court order. The clerk can pull older records by hand for a search fee.

Badger Public Records Access

The Alaska Public Records Act is in AS 40.25.100 through AS 40.25.295. Agencies have 10 working days to answer a first request. Fees apply after 5 hours of staff time. Most Badger jail mugshots requests go to DOC or DPS depending on who held the suspect. For help with a request, see the Alaska Department of Law APRA page. The Alaska Legislature statute site holds the full text of AS 40.25 and AS 12.62.

Some records are open and some are closed. Mugshots and arrest reports can be released if privacy tests are met. Criminal history reports are confidential under AS 12.62.160. Juvenile files are off limits. A name-based criminal history check costs $20 and a fingerprint check costs $35. The Criminal Records and Identification Bureau handles both at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage.

For a Badger arrest that moved to federal court, check both CourtView and the federal PACER system. Federal defendants from interior Alaska are often housed out of state since Alaska has no federal prisons. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator tracks federal custody back to 1982.
