Kodiak Criminal Records Database

Kodiak felony records are public documents held by the Alaska Court System and the Kodiak Police Department. Felony cases in Kodiak are handled by the Kodiak Superior and District Court at 204 Mission Road. You can search Kodiak criminal records at no cost through the CourtView public access portal, or request physical copies from the court clerk. The Kodiak Police Department maintains its own arrest and incident records that are separate from court filings. Alaska law makes both sources available to the public, with limited exceptions for sealed cases or active investigations.

Search Kodiak Felony Cases Online

The CourtView Public Access portal is the primary free tool for finding Kodiak felony records. Search by name, case number, or charge type. Results show filed charges, hearing dates, case status, and judge assignments. CourtView covers the Third Judicial District, which handles all Kodiak felony matters. No account is needed and most active cases appear in near real time.

Some records are sealed, particularly those involving juveniles or protected victims. Sealed cases may still appear in a name search but their contents won't be visible. For full case documents, you need to request them from the Kodiak court clerk in person or by mail. The Alaska Court System also maintains a broader case search page that connects to CourtView and other docket tools.

Kodiak Superior and District Court

The Kodiak Superior and District Court is located at 204 Mission Road, Room 101, Kodiak, AK 99615. The court can be reached at (907) 486-1600. This is the only court on Kodiak Island and handles all felony filings for the entire island borough.

The Superior Court has jurisdiction over felonies and civil cases over $100,000. The District Court handles misdemeanors, violations, and civil matters under $100,000. Felony records will be on file with the Superior Court, though cases sometimes originate in District Court before transfer. You can request paper copies through the clerk's window at the courthouse.

Copy fees are set statewide. Plain copies cost $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional. Certified copies are $10 for the first page and $3 for each one after. Mail requests are accepted with a check made payable to the Alaska Court System. Having a case number speeds up the process. Without one, the court may charge a $30 per hour research fee for clerk time spent locating records.

Note: The court directory listing for Kodiak is available at courts.alaska.gov/courtdir and includes current contact information and any changes to clerk hours.

Kodiak Police Department Records

The Kodiak Police Department is at 2160 Mill Bay Road, Kodiak, AK 99615, phone (907) 486-8000. KPD provides law enforcement for the City of Kodiak and maintains arrest records that are separate from the court system. Those records typically include the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, and arresting agency information.

Arrest records are not the same as conviction records. An arrest record shows a charge was filed. A court record in CourtView shows what actually happened to the case. Getting both sources together gives the most complete picture of a Kodiak felony matter. Requests for KPD records can be submitted in person at the station.

For a formal criminal history check beyond what Kodiak PD holds, the Alaska DPS background check portal lets you run a statewide name-based or fingerprint-based search.

Background Checks for Kodiak Residents

The Alaska Department of Public Safety runs the state's official background check program. A name-based check costs $20 and a fingerprint-based check costs $35. Fingerprint searches run through both Alaska and federal criminal databases, which makes them more complete for felony history verification. You can submit a request through the Alaska DPS background check portal.

Criminal records in Alaska are governed by AS 12.62. Felony records are public by default and remain accessible for life. Some charges may be set aside under limited conditions, but most felony convictions stay in the permanent public record. The public records law at AS 40.25.110-120 gives anyone the right to request most government records, including court filings and police reports.

Alaska Sex Offender Registry

The Alaska Sex Offender Registry is a free public database of individuals convicted of sex offenses, including those in Kodiak. It shows current addresses, offense details, and registration status. The registry is maintained under AS 12.63.010.

You can search the registry by name or by geographic area to find registrants in Kodiak. Only sex-related convictions require registration. For other felony types, CourtView and KPD records are the correct sources to use.

Felony Classes and Inmate Lookup

Alaska organizes felonies under AS 11.81. Class A felonies carry up to 20 years and up to $500,000 in fines. Class B carries up to 10 years and up to $250,000 in fines. Class C carries up to 5 years and up to $125,000 in fines. Unclassified felonies, such as murder, have penalties set by specific statute. When you pull a Kodiak case from CourtView, the charge listing will usually include the class designation so you know the severity of what was filed.

To check whether someone is in custody, use the VINE system. VINE tracks inmate location and custody status at all Alaska facilities. You can search online or call 1-800-247-9763. The service is free and available 24 hours a day.
