Dillingham Census Area Overview
Find Dillingham Recent Bookings Online
The Dillingham Census Area has two main law enforcement agencies: the Dillingham Police Department inside the city limits and the Alaska State Troopers for rural areas and state-level matters. Both agencies generate arrest and booking records, and those records are available through different channels depending on who made the arrest.
The CourtView public access portal is the best starting point for free online searches. It covers all Alaska trial court records from 1990 forward. Search by name or case number to find cases filed in the Dillingham Superior and District Court. Results can include arraignment records, charge details, and case outcomes tied to specific booking events. Each search returns up to 500 results.
The Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch posts summaries of AST arrests and incidents each evening around 9 PM. The Dillingham area falls under AST Detachment B. If a trooper made the arrest, the dispatch will often include a name, location, and charge description within 24 hours.
The Alaska Court System also publishes a criminal charges filed report that updates daily. This report lists new case filings statewide over a seven-day rolling window. Charges filed following Dillingham-area arrests will appear here once the case is formally submitted to the court.
Dillingham Police Department
The Dillingham Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency inside the city of Dillingham. It handles arrests, maintains booking records, and operates a small detention facility at the same address for temporary holds. DPD also manages the Dillingham Regional Adult Detention Facility for pretrial and short-term sentenced inmates.

Inmate Search and Detention
The Dillingham Regional Adult Detention Facility at 590 D Street West holds pretrial detainees and short-term sentenced inmates from within the city. Phone: (907) 842-5253. For people who need longer-term holding, they are transferred to the Anchorage Correctional Complex at 1400 E. 4th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501, phone (907) 269-4200.
To check custody status, use the VINE inmate notification system. VINE is free, runs 24 hours a day, and can be reached at 1-866-277-7477. It tracks inmates across all Alaska DOC facilities and lets you set up alerts when someone's status changes. The system shows facility location, charges, and tentative release dates where available.
The Alaska DOC offender locator is a separate tool that covers the same facilities. Use it to look up a person by name and see their current placement in the state corrections system. Both VINE and the DOC locator update regularly, but may not reflect arrests from the last few hours.
Warrants and the Sex Offender Registry
The AST active warrants database is updated daily and covers warrants from every part of Alaska, including Dillingham Census Area. It is available in CSV and PDF formats. You can search by name. If someone has an outstanding warrant tied to a Dillingham-area case, it will appear here alongside statewide results.
The Alaska Sex Offender Registry is searchable by name, address, or ZIP code. Registered offenders living in Dillingham and surrounding communities are included in the state database. The registry is maintained by the Alaska Department of Public Safety at no charge.
For historical records predating 1990, the Alaska State Archives may have older court and agency records on file. Older records are not available through CourtView and need to be requested directly from the archives.
