Southeast Fairbanks Census Area Recent Arrests
Southeast Fairbanks Census Area has no county sheriff and no municipal police force covering the broader region. The Alaska State Troopers Delta Junction and Tok Posts are the sole law enforcement authorities for most of this vast area, and they hold the records for Southeast Fairbanks Census Area recent arrests. This page covers every resource for finding arrests, court records, and custody information in this remote part of interior Alaska.
Southeast Fairbanks Census Area Overview
Alaska State Troopers Delta Junction Post - Primary Law Enforcement
The Alaska State Troopers Delta Junction Post serves as the main law enforcement authority for the western portions of Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. The post is located at 3700 Richardson Highway, Delta Junction, AK 99737. Phone: (907) 895-4800. This post is part of AST D Detachment, which is headquartered in Fairbanks and covers approximately 191,000 square miles across interior Alaska. Delta Junction is the end of the Alaska Highway and serves as the primary hub for law enforcement in this area.
All Southeast Fairbanks Census Area recent arrests handled by the Delta Junction Post go through standard AST booking procedures: fingerprinting, photographing, recording personal details, and filing an initial arrest report. There is no local jail in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, so people arrested here are transported to larger facilities for any extended detention. The Fairbanks Correctional Center is the primary destination for most Delta Junction-area arrests.
For records tied to Delta Junction Post arrests, contact the post directly or reach the Alaska DPS Records and Identification Section at 5700 E Tudor Road, Anchorage. Phone: (907) 269-5511. This section maintains the statewide criminal history database and can provide records from all AST posts including Delta Junction. Processing fees apply for criminal history reports.
Note: D Detachment covers eight posts across interior Alaska, including Cantwell, Delta Junction, Fairbanks, Galena, Healy, Nenana, Northway, and Tok. The Delta Junction and Tok posts are the two most relevant to Southeast Fairbanks Census Area.
Alaska State Troopers Tok Post - Eastern Coverage
The Alaska State Troopers Tok Post covers the eastern portion of Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, including the Alaska Highway corridor near the Canadian border. Tok is also home to the Alaska Public Lands Information Center, which is located in the same building as the State Troopers post. This co-location reflects the role the Tok post plays as a gateway community on the route between Alaska and the continental United States via Canada.
Recent arrest activity from the Tok Post area shows a consistent mix of enforcement types. DUI arrests on the Alaska Highway are a regular occurrence given the long stretches of road and the remoteness of the area. Misconduct involving weapons arrests, assault investigations, death investigations, and traffic enforcement activity also appear in the Tok area records. Checking the AST Daily Dispatch at dailydispatch.dps.alaska.gov gives you a running look at recent Tok Post activity including Southeast Fairbanks Census Area recent arrests.
The Tok Post reports to D Detachment headquarters in Fairbanks. Arrest records created by Tok Post personnel are held at the post and in the statewide DPS database. Public records requests for Tok-area arrests can go to the post directly or through the DPS Records section in Anchorage.
Fairbanks Correctional Center - Detention for the Region
Southeast Fairbanks Census Area has no detention facility of its own. People arrested anywhere in the census area are transported to Fairbanks Correctional Center for any detention beyond an immediate holding period. This is the primary facility for the entire interior Alaska region covered by D Detachment.
To find out if someone arrested in Southeast Fairbanks is currently in custody at Fairbanks Correctional Center or another Alaska DOC facility, use VINELink at vinelink.vineapps.com. The VINE system covers all Alaska DOC facilities and is free to use. Search by name and register for automatic notifications if you want alerts about custody changes. The Alaska DOC offender locator at doc.alaska.gov is another option for tracking an individual's location within the DOC system.
VPSO Program Coverage in Southeast Fairbanks
Some remote communities in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area may be served by Village Public Safety Officers. Healy Lake Village and Northway Village are examples of small communities that may have state-funded VPSO coverage. These officers provide first-response law enforcement under Alaska State Trooper supervision for communities too small or too remote for a full police presence.
When a VPSO makes an arrest or detains an individual, that information flows through the Alaska State Troopers' reporting systems. Records from VPSO-served communities are accessible through the same DPS channels as any other AST-affiliated arrest. If you are looking for records from a specific remote community in Southeast Fairbanks, contacting the nearest AST post will help you identify whether a VPSO serves that area and where records are held.

Access the self-service portal at backgroundcheck.dps.alaska.gov. Results come back by email after processing.
