Ketchikan Gateway Borough Jail Roster

The Ketchikan Gateway Borough jail roster is the main way to find a person held in local custody on Revillagigedo Island. The borough uses the Ketchikan Correctional Center as its main hold site, and the Ketchikan Police Department runs its own booking log for short term holds. This page shows you how to search the Ketchikan Gateway Borough jail roster, what each agency keeps, and who to call for a record. Use the search tool below to start. You can look up an inmate by name or by ID. Each link on this page goes to an official source.

Ketchikan Correctional Center

The Ketchikan Correctional Center is the main detention site for the Ketchikan Gateway Borough jail roster. The facility sits at 1201 Schoenbar Road, Ketchikan, Alaska 99901-6270. The operations line is (907) 228-7363 and the fax is (907) 225-7031. Staff book people who are arrested by the Ketchikan Police Department, the Alaska State Troopers, and other agencies that bring arrestees to the site. The booking process includes fingerprints, photos, and the intake of personal data. After a first hold at KCC, some inmates move to a larger prison in Juneau or Anchorage based on the case.

KCC is run by the Alaska Department of Corrections, so inmate data also shows up in the statewide VINE system. For a fast check, call VINE at 1-800-247-9763. You can also visit the court system's tips on locating people page for step by step help. If you can not reach KCC by phone, try the main DOC line at 907-334-2381 in Anchorage. Note that KCC is the primary place of hold, not a long term prison. Long sentences are often served elsewhere in the state.

Ketchikan Police Department Bookings

The Ketchikan Police Department handles most of the arrests in the borough. The department keeps arrest records, booking logs, and mugshots from the intake process. The City of Ketchikan sits at 334 Front Street, Ketchikan, AK 99901, phone (907) 225-3111. To pull a police report, go to the City of Ketchikan Public Records page and fill out the request form for the police department. The city also has a forms page with the Request for Copy of Police Report link. For fiscal year 2023, the city's budget was about $17.5 million, so the department has steady funds for record work.

Ketchikan Jail Roster Court Records

Court records back up every booking on the Ketchikan Gateway Borough jail roster. The Alaska Court System keeps the records for the First Judicial District, which covers Ketchikan and the rest of southeast Alaska. Use the CourtView system to search by party name, case number, or hearing date. Each case page shows charges, bail data, and the next court date. Not every paper is online. Some records are sealed or have limits under state law.

Public Records in Ketchikan Gateway Borough

The Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.110 through AS 40.25.125 covers most of the files held by borough and city offices. Agencies must reply to a request within 10 business days. At the borough level, the Office of the Borough Clerk handles records work. Go to the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Public Records page for the request form. The form is a PDF that you fill out and send in.

Criminal records held by the Alaska Department of Public Safety have a tighter rule under AS 12.62.160. Most of that data is not public, but the subject of the record can get a copy. The Alaska Bureau of Investigation runs the name-based and fingerprint-based checks. The fee is $20 for a name check and $35 for a print check. For the borough specifically, arrest records made by the Ketchikan Police Department and Alaska State Troopers are generally public. Juvenile records are sealed by statute, and so are records that would put a witness or victim in harm.

For an outside view of arrest records, the Ketchikan arrest records page covers the main rules and what a record contains. The guide lists the types of info shown: full name, date of birth, gender, race, date and place of arrest, charges, booking number, and any set bail. It also covers court dates and docket numbers once the case is filed.

A peace officer can make an arrest under a warrant, when the officer sees the crime happen, or when there is probable cause to believe a crime was done. Anyone booked in the borough may be held at the Ketchikan Correctional Center while the case moves through court. The Ketchikan Police Department page is the right stop for a police report, and the city clerk handles most other record requests.
