Eagle River sits in the Anchorage Municipality. It does not have its own city police force. The Anchorage Police Department covers all calls in Eagle River, from minor traffic stops to felony arrests. APD writes the arrest report, takes the booking photo, and sends the person to a holding facility. Most Eagle River jail mugshots start at the Anchorage Correctional Complex on Elmore Road. That is the main intake jail for the whole municipality. The booking file holds the photo, the charge list, bail data, and the next court date.
The fastest way to check Eagle River jail mugshots and custody status is VINE. Search by first and last name. VINE runs all day and all night and pulls data from every state jail. It shows the name, the charges, and the facility where the person is held. You can set up text or email alerts to get word when an Eagle River inmate is moved or let out. VINE does not show the booking photo, but it tells you which jail has the file.

Court files are the best way to tie an Eagle River jail mugshot to a specific charge and outcome. The Alaska Court System runs one statewide database called CourtView.
Search CourtView at records.courts.alaska.gov. Look up by name, case number, or hearing date. Most cases from 1990 forward are in the system. Older files need a call to the clerk or a written request. For certified copies, use the forms at public.courts.alaska.gov. Copy fees are $2.50 per page for plain copies and $5 plus $2.50 per page for certified ones.
CourtView does not show booking photos. It shows case data only. But the case file tells you which facility holds the inmate and what charges are on the record. That info helps you file a targeted records request for the mugshot. For federal cases tied to Eagle River, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator at bop.gov/inmateloc.
