Alaska State Troopers Nome Post
The Alaska State Troopers Nome Post covers the rural Nome Census Area. Dispatch runs through DPS at 907-269-5511. Troopers handle arrests in the many villages that lack a full police force.
Arrests made under AS 12.25.030 without a warrant are booked at Anvil Mountain. Troopers sometimes work with village public safety officers on calls for service.
Nome Courthouse and Case Search
The Nome Courthouse is at 113 Front Street, Nome, AK 99762. The court provides District and Superior Court services for the Nome Census Area.
Online case search is handled through CourtView Public Access. You can also start from the state search cases page. For closed and very old files, check the Alaska State Archives.
A case tied to a Nome Census Area 72 Hour Booking will usually show up on CourtView within a day of the first hearing.
Inmate Lookup and VINE Notifications
For current custody info, use the DOC Offender Search. It covers inmates held at Anvil Mountain. For alerts, sign up at VINE Link. The Alaska Office of Victims' Rights has info on how notifications work.
You can set alerts for a specific inmate ID. VINE sends a message when the inmate is moved, released, or re-booked. This is the best tool for long-distance family tracking.
Background Checks and Arrest Records
The state's criminal history checks are run by the DPS Records and Identification Bureau. Name and fingerprint checks can be ordered through the DPS self-service portal.
The central repository rules are set in AS 12.62.110. The release rules are in AS 12.62.160.
Public Records Requests
Most Nome 72 Hour Booking record requests go to the city police department first. The Alaska Public Records Act sets the ground rules. Trooper reports go through the DPS FOIA portal.
Include the full name, date range, and case number if you have one. Short requests are usually faster than broad fishing requests.
What a Nome 72 Hour Booking Record Shows
A typical Nome booking entry has the name, the arresting agency, the charge, the booking date, and the facility. Some entries include bail, next court date, and release time. Photos may be included when available.
Because the city roster and the state inmate list are separate, you often need to check both. A name may drop off the NPD roster after transfer to Anvil Mountain, but still show in the DOC search.
Short-term holds can be hard to track. If a record is missing, try again in a few hours.
Nome Arrest Law and 72 Hour Booking Timeline
The 72 hour booking clock in Nome starts at the moment of arrest. Under Alaska Statute AS 12.25.030, a peace officer can make a warrantless arrest for a felony, for any misdemeanor committed in the officer's presence, or for a domestic violence offense within 12 hours of the act. The law then requires the person to appear before a judge within 48 to 72 hours, not counting weekends and holidays.
A lot happens during that short window. The arrested person is booked at a lockup or transported to a state facility. The initial appearance gets scheduled. Bail or bond conditions are reviewed. A public defender may be assigned if the person qualifies. Formal charges can be filed or dropped. The sequence from arrest to the first court hearing creates the Nome booking file that later shows up in search tools.
The record subject has the right to see their own complete criminal history under AS 12.62.160. You can request your own file through the Alaska Department of Public Safety Criminal Records Bureau. Third parties need a signed consent form from the subject, or rely on the public reporting portion of the record. The Alaska State Archives keeps older criminal justice files for research use.
