Kodiak Jail Roster Search
The Kodiak jail roster is the main way to find a person held on Kodiak Island. The Kodiak Police Department runs the largest detention facility in town, with cells set up for holds of up to 14 days. The city sits on Kodiak Island Borough, and state troopers cover the areas outside the city limits. This page walks you through the Kodiak jail roster step by step. You will find phone lines, facility notes, and the right links to confirm a booking or pull a record right now.
Kodiak Jail Roster Overview
Kodiak Police Department Inmate Roster
The Kodiak Police Department sits at 217 Lower Mill Bay Road, Kodiak, AK 99615. Dial 911 for an emergency. The main phone is 907-486-8000, and the fax is 907-486-8023. KPD has about 16 officers and detectives, a dispatch staff of 8 led by a Dispatch Sergeant, an animal control officer, a parking enforcement officer, and a small admin staff. The department runs the largest detention facility in Kodiak, with several cells set up as 14-day holding units. That makes KPD the first and main stop for any Kodiak jail roster search.
The KPD holding site acts as a local jail for people booked inside the city. Staff can confirm if a person is in custody and share basic booking info when the file is not sealed. For a deeper request, send a written note under the Alaska Public Records Act to the station address above. Mugshots are rare in Alaska. The state only releases booking photos in narrow cases. Most Kodiak files list the charges, the arrest time, and the officer on the call.
For a look at the official city site that hosts KPD info, see the City of Kodiak portal.
The city site links out to KPD, court data, and other local records tools tied to the Kodiak jail roster.
Kodiak Community Jail and AST Detachment
The Kodiak community jail line is 907-486-8000, press 2 for the jail. The line routes callers to the holding area at the KPD facility. Staff can confirm custody status and outline visit rules. The community jail works in step with the KPD detention area, and most holds stay for a short run before a move off island or a release. For longer sentences, inmates fly off island to a DOC site on the mainland.
The Alaska State Troopers "C" Detachment Kodiak Post sits at 211 Bartel Ave, Kodiak, AK 99615. The phone is 486-4121. The post has a Post Commander at the Sergeant rank who leads about six troopers and three civilian dispatchers. The Kodiak Post Commander is the search and rescue coordinator for all land searches in Kodiak Island Borough. Troopers handle cases outside city limits and on the wider island, so a booking in a small village may start with an AST report before the KPD holding area takes over.
The Alaska Department of Public Safety lists the main trooper links and VINE as the state approved inmate lookup. Call VINE at 1-800-247-9763 for a free check on a Kodiak booking that may have moved to a DOC site.
Note: For a Kodiak jail roster lookup on a fresh booking, call KPD at 907-486-8000 and press 2 to reach the holding desk.
VINE and DOC for Kodiak Inmate Records
VINE is the free statewide inmate lookup. Call 1-800-247-9763 or use VINELink. You can search by name or offender ID. VINE shows the current housing site and a tentative release date. When KPD moves a person from the 14-day hold to a long-term DOC site, VINE picks up the change. Sign up for a PIN so live alerts reach you day or night. The tool is confidential, and the inmate will not know you signed up.
The Alaska Department of Corrections runs 13 facilities on the mainland. Kodiak inmates with long sentences often move to Spring Creek in Seward at 907-224-8200, or to the Anchorage Correctional Complex at 907-269-4100 for pretrial work tied to Anchorage court filings. Women may move to Hiland Mountain in Eagle River at 907-694-9511. These are the main DOC lines you will run into on a Kodiak jail roster search that moves off island.
For help with a hard-to-find inmate, the Chief Classification Officer at 907-269-7426 can pin down the current housing site. Use VINE first, then call this line when VINE does not answer the question. The Alaska records page sums up the main rules and tools for a jail roster lookup.
Kodiak Court Records and CourtView
The Alaska Court System runs the CourtView public portal. You can search by party name, case number, or hearing date. Once you pull a Kodiak case, you see the charges, bail details, and the next hearing. Not every paper is online. Some stay sealed for privacy rules. CourtView ties a Kodiak booking to the active case file, which is the fastest link from a jail roster lookup to the court side of the case.
The Kodiak Trial Court handles most state cases for the city and the wider island. Call the clerk's desk for certified copies or older paper files. CourtView covers most new cases, but some items never hit the online file. For a second public court records tool, the Alaska Court Records site offers a free index of state case data as a backup.
Property tax listings for the Kodiak Island Borough can be searched by name to see the address of property a person owns. That is one more way to find a current address tied to a Kodiak name on a jail roster. The court system's tips on locating people cover VINE, property tax lookups, and DOC contact lines.
Kodiak Public Records Access
The Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.125 governs access to Kodiak jail records and most city files. Agencies must respond within 10 business days. The act does not limit access based on who asks. That rule helps when you ask KPD for an arrest report or the city jail for a log note. The Alaska Public Records Act page at the Department of Law explains the law in plain terms.
Criminal history data held by the Department of Public Safety falls under Alaska Statute 12.62.160, which keeps most of that data out of the public's hands. A name-based state criminal history report costs $20 for the first copy and $5 for each extra copy. Fingerprint reports cost $35. Mail requests go to 5700 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99507. Phone 907-269-5767. The DPS background check portal handles online asks for Kodiak subjects.
Kodiak Island Borough Jail Roster
Kodiak is the seat of the Kodiak Island Borough. The borough uses KPD, state troopers, and DOC sites on the mainland for its main detention network. For the full set of borough-level tools, see the Kodiak Island Borough jail roster page. It covers the key phone lines, the state court desks, and the workflow for finding a person booked on the island.
The borough page lists direct lines for KPD, AST C Detachment, and the Spring Creek transfer site for long-term inmates. That is the right page for a wider search that goes past the city of Kodiak.
