Knik-Fairview Jail Roster Search

The Knik-Fairview jail roster is the main way to find a person booked near this Mat-Su Borough community. Knik-Fairview has no jail of its own. Local arrests move into the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility or the Goose Creek Correctional Center, and both sites feed the Alaska jail roster. This page walks you through the Knik-Fairview jail roster tools, the right phone numbers, and the steps you need to check custody. Use the search tool below to look up a name and start your Knik-Fairview inmate search the fast way.

Where to Search the Knik-Fairview Jail Roster

Knik-Fairview sits inside the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The borough does not run a city jail for the community. Alaska State Troopers and borough officers make most arrests in the area. Booked inmates move into the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility first. If the case is long-term, they shift to Goose Creek Correctional Center in Wasilla. Both sites show up in the Alaska DOC central inmate list. You can also call the jails direct for a quick status check.

Mat-Su Pretrial can be reached at 907-745-0943. Goose Creek is at 907-864-8100. Staff will confirm if a person is in custody, but they do not give out the charges. For that, use the state VINE tool. VINE is free and runs around the clock. Call 1-800-247-9763 or go to the online version. The Alaska Department of Public Safety lists VINE as the main inmate lookup for the state.

For a second way to search, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Jail search tool pulls offender name, booking number, current charges, and bond details. It works well for Knik-Fairview cases that end up in the borough system.

Mat-Su Pretrial and Knik-Fairview Inmates

Mat-Su Pretrial is the first stop for most Knik-Fairview arrests. The facility sits near Palmer and handles new bookings for the whole Mat-Su Borough. Inmates stay until they post bail, see a judge, or move to a long-term prison. The pretrial unit is part of the state DOC system. That means the Knik-Fairview jail roster for this site is searchable through the same VINE tool used across Alaska.

When someone from Knik-Fairview is booked at Mat-Su Pretrial, the record shows the name, age, charges, and a booking number. Bail is set by a judge at a first hearing, often within 24 hours. Court dates can be found on CourtView through the Alaska Court System site. Use CourtView to track the case once the booking is live.

Phone staff at 907-745-0943 can answer simple custody questions. They will not read charges over the phone. For charges, use VINE or the borough jail search. For visits, check the DOC site for the current rules. Dress code and hours change from time to time.

Goose Creek Correctional Center

Goose Creek Correctional Center in Wasilla holds long-term inmates from Knik-Fairview and the rest of the Mat-Su Borough. It is one of the largest DOC sites in Alaska. The main line is 907-864-8100. Mail goes to the facility address listed on the DOC page. When an inmate moves from Mat-Su Pretrial to Goose Creek, the VINE record updates, and an alert goes out if you signed up for one.

Goose Creek runs visitation on a set schedule. Check the DOC visit page before you drive out. Visits can be canceled if the facility is on lockdown. Phone calls and email (through the DOC vendor) are the best way to stay in touch. For the full DOC facility list and phone numbers, the court system's tips page has a clean summary.

Goose Creek also takes inmates from Anchorage and other parts of the state when space runs short in local jails. That means some Knik-Fairview residents may end up here even if they were booked somewhere else first. VINE is the best way to find them. The service tracks movement across all DOC sites.

For help with property, funds on an inmate account, or legal mail, call Goose Creek during business hours. Staff can answer short questions. Longer questions go to the Chief Classification Officer at 907-269-7426. The officer handles transfer requests and formal record asks. The Alaska inmate records guide explains the process in plain terms. Use that page when you need a step-by-step walkthrough for a Knik-Fairview case.

Alaska State Troopers and Knik-Fairview

Knik-Fairview does not have its own police force. Alaska State Troopers cover the area along with Mat-Su Borough officers. The Mat-Su trooper post is the main contact for local arrests. You can call the Palmer post for trooper reports tied to a Knik-Fairview case. The Alaska Department of Public Safety home page lists trooper posts and direct numbers.

Trooper records are part of the DPS files. To pull a full report, submit a request through the DPS records portal. The fee and turnaround time depend on the type of report. Incident files, crash reports, and booking sheets are the common items. For a name-based criminal history, mail your request to the Criminal Records and Identification Bureau, 5700 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99507. Alaska has no sheriffs. The troopers at 907-269-5976 fill that role for areas like Knik-Fairview.

Knik-Fairview Court Records

CourtView is the state court tool. It is free and public. Use it when a booking record shows a case number you want to look up. The portal shows bail details, the next court date, and any filings that are not sealed. If you cannot find a record on CourtView, try the public index portal. Some small cases show up on one tool but not the other.

Knik-Fairview Arrest Records

Arrest records in Knik-Fairview are made by Alaska State Troopers and borough officers. Under AS 40.25.110, most arrest data is public.
