This page shows the tools you need to check recent bookings, find out who is in custody, and pull court files for Eagle River cases. Each link goes to the primary source.
Eagle River 72 Hour Booking Overview
Eagle River 72 Hour Booking Basics
Eagle River is a community inside the Municipality of Anchorage. It is not a stand-alone city. For that reason, it shares its public safety rules with the rest of Anchorage. When a person gets arrested in Eagle River, the Anchorage Police Department handles the booking. APD keeps its records at the Anchorage Correctional Complex, not in Eagle River itself. So when you look up an Eagle River 72 hour booking, you are really looking at an Anchorage record with an Eagle River address.
The area does have one big corrections footprint. The Hiland Mountain Correctional Center sits on Hesterberg Road. This facility is Alaska's largest women's prison. It has a capacity of 415 inmates and handles long-term custody, not the short first-day booking most people search for.
Check the official site of the Anchorage Police Department for press logs and records tools: anchoragepolice.com.
The page holds a records request form and a press log with daily calls. Use it as a first stop for any recent Eagle River booking.
How to Look Up Eagle River 72 Hour Bookings
Start with Alaska CourtView. Type a first and last name and press search. The tool returns any open or closed case in the state court system. Eagle River cases move through the Anchorage Trial Court, so they show up under Anchorage in the results.
The Alaska Court System case search hub is another option. It gives a short set of tips and a few different lookup paths. Both tools are free to use.
For custody status, go to VINE Link. It covers Hiland Mountain and the main Anchorage lockup. Sign up to get alerts when someone changes facility or is let go.
Note: Because Eagle River shares systems with Anchorage, search results often list the booking under the Anchorage court or jail instead of the Eagle River address.
Anchorage Police and Eagle River
APD has a station that serves the north side of the Anchorage bowl. The officers answer calls from Eagle River, Chugiak, and Birchwood. When they make an arrest, the suspect is driven to the main Anchorage Correctional Complex for booking. That complex holds the 72 hour booking data for the community.
Call APD records for a copy of a report. The city also offers a records request form online. For most name lookups, you will not need to file a request. The state CourtView tool will show the case.

Hiland Mountain Correctional Center
Hiland Mountain is the main women's prison in the state. It stands at 9101 Hesterberg Road, Eagle River, AK 99577. The phone line is (907) 694-9511. The Alaska DOC Facility Directory has the full listing and links to mail, visit, and deposit rules.
Hiland holds pretrial women from Anchorage and beyond. It also holds women who have been sentenced. A 72 hour booking at Hiland is not very common, since most women come in after their first bookings at other jails. But the site does show current inmates in the state offender search.
Use the Alaska DOC offender search to find a person held at Hiland. You can also check doc.alaska.gov for the parent site.
Note: Hiland Mountain is a women-only facility, so any male arrested in Eagle River will be booked at a separate Anchorage lockup.
Court Records and the Anchorage Trial Court
Eagle River matters move through the Third Judicial District. Most cases land at the Anchorage Trial Court near downtown. Once a charge is filed, the public case file can be read in CourtView. You can see the first hearing, the bail order, and every motion filed after that.
Alaska arrest law is set out in Alaska Statute AS 12.25.030. That rule lists when an officer can take someone into custody without a warrant. Rules on release of criminal history sit in AS 12.62.160.
Some files are sealed. Juvenile cases are closed by law. Court clerks can help with file copies.
Public Records and Background Checks
The Alaska Public Records Act gives you the right to ask for police reports and booking sheets. You can file a request with APD or with the Municipality of Anchorage clerk. The DPS FOIA Portal is the fastest way to file a state level request online.
For a full criminal history, use the DPS Online Criminal History Portal. Alaska keeps the central repository of records under AS 12.62.110. The DPS Background Check home page has more detail on what the state can share.
Victims can get case updates from the Alaska Office of Victims' Rights. Older files sit in the Alaska State Archives.
What Shows Up in an Eagle River Booking Sheet
A booking sheet lists the name, birth date, and home address of the person held. It gives the date and time of the arrest. It names each charge. It shows the bail set by the judge. It lists the booking agency and the case number tied to the court file.
Not all parts are public. Social security numbers and some case notes are held back. A juvenile arrest does not appear at all.
