Hoonah PD books people into a short-term hold at the station. Most inmates are moved to Lemon Creek in Juneau within a day or two. HPD does not post an online roster for jail mugshots. Call the front desk for custody status.

Angoon has no city police. Alaska State Troopers cover Angoon and all the smaller villages in the census area. Troopers work out of Juneau and are reached at (907) 269-5511 for records and dispatch. AST arrests in the area are logged in the state system and the daily dispatch feed. A fresh booking often shows up on the feed before it shows up anywhere else.

It is the state jail for Southeast Alaska and holds inmates from Hoonah, Angoon, Tenakee Springs, Pelican, and other small communities. LCCC has 231 beds.

City of Hoonah Resources

The City of Hoonah site holds links to the police department, the city clerk, and the mayor's office. For Hoonah-Angoon jail mugshots, the city clerk can route a records request to the right office. Start at the City of Hoonah site for the main contacts and the meeting archive.

The site also has the budget and the local code. For a police records request, drop a short letter to the police department care of the city clerk. Include the date of the incident, the place, the parties, and a case number if you have one. Processing can take 15 to 30 days for small rural offices.

For Angoon and the smaller villages, a direct call to Alaska State Troopers is the fastest path. Troopers keep the records and the booking photo from any rural arrest. The Alaska State Troopers page has the full list of posts and contact numbers.

Alaska Troopers Rural Records

The Alaska State Troopers cover all rural arrests in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. Records for trooper cases go through the DPS portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Make an account, pick a request type, and upload proof of ID. Trooper records for rural areas can take 15 to 30 days to process because the file must come from a central office in Anchorage.

The trooper daily log at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov posts new items all day. Search by place name to spot arrests in Angoon, Hoonah, or nearby villages. The log shows the date, charge, and officer for each incident. It does not hold jail mugshots but it points you to the case file.

For a full name-based criminal history across Alaska, the Criminal Records and Identification Bureau runs checks from 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage. The cost is $20 for a name check and $35 for a fingerprint check. These files are held under AS 12.62.110.

Hoonah-Angoon Court Cases

The Hoonah-Angoon Census Area has two small courts. The Hoonah Court is at 300 Front Street, Hoonah, AK 99829, and the phone is (907) 945-3668. The Angoon Court is at 700 Aan Deina Aat Street, Angoon, AK 99820. The phone is (907) 788-3229. Both courts handle minor criminal and civil matters. Felony cases are moved to the Juneau Superior Court in the First Judicial District.

Free case lookups are on CourtView at records.courts.alaska.gov. Search by party name or case number. A case page lists charges, bail, hearing dates, and the arresting agency. For older files, call the clerk. Hoonah and Angoon files from before the CourtView era may only live on paper.

Copy fees at the clerk run $2.50 per page for plain copies and $5 plus $2.50 per page for certified copies. Use Form TF-311 for mail-in requests. The Alaska public courts portal has the form and the mail address.

Juvenile files are closed under AS 47.12. Sealed files need a court order. The First Judicial District covers all of Southeast Alaska, including Haines, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Petersburg, and Wrangell, so any move of a case may cross district lines without much paperwork.

Both the Hoonah Court and the Angoon Court keep short hours. Staff coverage depends on travel from Juneau. A call ahead is a good idea before you plan a trip to either court. Most routine case questions can be answered over the phone. For a certified copy, the clerk will mail the document within a week in most cases.

Hoonah-Angoon Public Access

The Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.100 through 295 applies to every office in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. Agencies have 10 working days to reply. The first 5 hours of staff time are free. Copy fees stack on top. Rural files may take longer when the staff must pull them from a field office or a shared archive.

Arrest blotters and most incident reports are open. Full rap sheets and juvenile files are closed. Sealed cases need a court order. Ongoing investigations can be held back while the case moves forward. Release of criminal justice data is guided by AS 12.62.160.

The best path for a Hoonah-Angoon jail mugshots search runs through three tools. First, check VINE for current custody at LCCC. Then, check CourtView for the case file. Then, file a records request with HPD or AST for the booking photo. Most searches can be done in a week if you have a name and a rough arrest date. For anyone in federal custody, check the Federal BOP inmate locator.

Small village arrests are often handled by Village Public Safety Officers, known as VPSOs. VPSOs are state-funded officers based in rural communities. They work as the first response for a call and then hand off to AST for booking and records. The file from a VPSO case ends up in the trooper records system in Anchorage. That is the right office to call when a VPSO made the arrest in a Hoonah-Angoon village.

Keep in mind that weather and travel can slow the process across Southeast Alaska. Flights between Juneau, Hoonah, and Angoon can be held up for days in winter. A phone call or an online filing is almost always faster than a trip in person. Start at VINE and CourtView, then move to the agency portal when you need the actual booking photo or arrest report.
