Denali Borough 72 Hour Booking Agencies

The Alaska State Troopers run law enforcement across Denali Borough. Two posts cover the area. The Cantwell Post and the Healy Post share the work. You can reach them at (907) 768-2525.

The City of Anderson has its own small police department that covers city limits. Beyond that, the National Park Service has jurisdiction inside Denali National Park boundaries. The NPS rangers handle incidents and arrests within the park. If someone is arrested by park rangers, the booking process still flows through state systems. All arrest data goes into the Alaska Public Safety Information Network (APSIN) under AS 12.62.110.

When a trooper or ranger makes an arrest in Denali Borough under AS 12.25.030, the booking starts in the field. Officers log the charges, collect personal data, and take fingerprints when possible. Then the arrested person is driven to the Fairbanks Correctional Center. That drive can take two to three hours from Healy, longer from Cantwell. The 72 hour clock starts at the time of arrest, not when the person arrives at the facility.
