Yakutat Jail Mugshots Lookup

The fastest tool for a Yakutat jail mugshots lookup is VINE. VINE is free and runs all day. You can search by full or partial name at vinelink.com or call 1-800-247-9763. The tool lists the inmate, the holding facility, the charges, and sends text or email alerts when a custody status changes. Almost every person booked in the borough lands at Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau, so that is where the state roster entry will show.

Yakutat City and Borough sits on the Gulf of Alaska, north of the Panhandle and south of the Wrangell-St. Elias range. The only settled community is Yakutat itself, with about 650 year-round residents. There is no road in or out. Travel is by boat or by plane. The borough has no municipal police department and no long-term jail. A suspect is held on scene by troopers or a Village Public Safety Officer, then flown to Juneau when the next plane leaves.

Yakutat jail mugshots are not posted on any public site. To get a booking photo you must file a request with the Alaska State Troopers or the Alaska Department of Corrections. The trooper file covers the arrest side. The DOC file covers the holding side. Release follows AS 40.25.120. The photo can be held back if the case is still open or if the subject has a privacy claim.

Alaska State Troopers Coverage

Alaska State Troopers are the sole law enforcement agency for Yakutat City and Borough. The nearest trooper post is in Juneau, about 225 air miles southeast of Yakutat. Statewide dispatch is (907) 269-5511. The Juneau-based dispatch line at (907) 451-5100 covers the Yakutat area calls. Troopers may fly in for major cases or rely on a Village Public Safety Officer based in town for the first response.

When a trooper or VPSO makes an arrest, they take a booking photo, fill out the arrest report, and hand the suspect off for transport. Transport to Juneau can run by small plane or, in rare cases, by Coast Guard cutter. Weather delays are common on the Gulf side, and a transport can slip one or two days. The booking file moves through the Juneau post on the way to the state records unit in Anchorage.

To file a records request with the troopers use the public portal at dpsalaska.justfoia.com. Create an account, pick Alaska State Troopers, and fill out the form. Turnaround runs 10 to 15 working days under AS 40.25.110. The Criminal Records and Identification Bureau at 5700 East Tudor Road in Anchorage runs name checks for $20 and fingerprint checks for $35, and the line for the unit is (907) 269-5767.

Lemon Creek Correctional Holds

Yakutat inmates are moved to Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau for all long-term holds. Lemon Creek is at 2000 Lemon Creek Road, Juneau, AK 99801. The phone is (907) 465-6200. It is the main state jail for the First Judicial District. It handles pretrial detainees, sentenced misdemeanants, and felons awaiting transfer to Goose Creek or Spring Creek for longer sentences.

A Lemon Creek booking record holds the inmate name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, hair and eye color, charges with AS code cites, bail amount, housing unit, and next court date. The mugshot is filed as a separate image record. You can get the text without the image if the image is held back. For help finding a known inmate who does not show in VINE, call the facility line. The state corrections site at doc.alaska.gov has an offender search tool that covers every state jail.

Family can use VINE to track custody changes on a Yakutat case. Alerts come in by text or email. For a federal case tied to a Yakutat arrest, check the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. The BOP locator tracks federal custody back to 1982. Alaska has no federal prison, so federal defendants from a Yakutat case will be shipped to the Lower 48 after sentencing.

Yakutat Court Records

The Alaska Court System runs the Yakutat Court at 508 Max Italio Drive, Yakutat, AK 99689. The phone is (907) 784-3274. The court is part of the First Judicial District. Small cases are heard in Yakutat. Felony trials may be routed to Juneau. Every filing still shows in CourtView, the free case search at records.courts.alaska.gov.

Search CourtView by party name, case number, ticket number, or hearing date. A case page shows the charges, bail, hearing dates, and the facility where the person is held. Copy fees are $2.50 per page for uncertified copies. Certified copies run $5 plus $2.50 per page. Mail-in copy requests use Form TF-311, which is on the Alaska public courts portal.

Juvenile records are sealed under AS 47.12. Sealed cases need a court order. Pre-1990 files may be on paper and may not show in CourtView. The Yakutat clerk can pull those for a small fee. Walk-in access is open during clerk hours, which follow the state court schedule.

Yakutat Public Records Access

The Alaska Public Records Act is AS 40.25.100 through AS 40.25.295. It is the main rule for records access in the state. Agencies have 10 working days to answer a first request. Fees kick in after the first 5 hours of staff time. Copy fees stack on top. For general APRA guidance read the Alaska Department of Law APRA page. The full text of each statute is on the Alaska Legislature site.

Yakutat jail mugshots, arrest reports, and incident narratives are usually open records. What the law holds back is the full criminal history compilation under AS 12.62.160 and AS 12.62.180. A case is fair game once charges are filed, per AS 12.25.010. AS 12.62.110 sets the data fields that end up in the state file. Juvenile files are off limits. Sealed cases need a court order to open.

The Yakutat borough itself is a small office, but it handles basic local records such as ordinance files and meeting minutes. Booking records and arrest files sit with the troopers rather than the borough. A clear, narrow request to the right agency is the fastest way to get a reply on a Yakutat jail mugshots case.

Trooper Dispatch and DPS Tools

The Alaska State Troopers run a public site at dps.alaska.gov that links out to every records tool in the state. The daily dispatch feed at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov posts arrests and incidents by date. Search the feed by keyword, name, or case number. For remote Yakutat, the daily dispatch is the fastest way to spot a fresh arrest before the formal file is ready.

Family and press tracking a case can watch VINE, CourtView, the daily dispatch, and the BOP locator at the same time. Each covers a different piece of the record chain. VINE covers custody. CourtView covers filings. The daily dispatch covers the arrest side. The BOP locator covers federal custody. Together they give a fuller picture of where a Yakutat case stands at any given moment.

Yakutat is one of the most remote boroughs in Alaska. That makes records handling slower than in bigger towns. A phone call to the troopers' Juneau dispatch at (907) 451-5100 before filing a written request can help steer the ask to the right desk. The trooper post in Juneau holds the bulk of Yakutat field files, but some records still live at the state records unit in Anchorage.
