Juneau Bench Warrant Lookup

Juneau bench warrants come from courts in the First Judicial District when someone misses a hearing or violates a release condition. The Juneau Police Department publishes a Weekly Warrants Report that lists active warrants from JPD cases. You can also search for Juneau bench warrants through the Dimond Courthouse clerk, the statewide CourtView system, and the Alaska State Troopers A Detachment. As Alaska's capital city, Juneau has both local and state-level resources for warrant searches. This page explains where to look and how to resolve a Juneau bench warrant.

Juneau Police Bench Warrants

The Juneau Police Department is the lead agency for bench warrants in the city. JPD sits at 6255 Alaway Avenue, Juneau, AK 99801. The non-emergency line is (907) 586-0600. JPD publishes a Weekly Warrants Report on its website. The report lists active warrants that were issued by the Alaska State Court System for JPD cases. It is updated each week and pulled from public court records.

If your name shows up on the Juneau bench warrant list, JPD says you can call (907) 586-0600 to make arrangements. The department warns the public not to try to detain anyone on the list. All warrants must be confirmed through the Alaska Public Safety Information Network before an arrest is made. The weekly report also notes that anyone listed is "presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty." Anonymous tips on people with open Juneau bench warrants can go through the Juneau Crime Line.

JPD also takes records requests for incident reports, arrest reports, and other documents. Requests can be sent online, by mail, or in person. The JPD public information page explains how to get copies of records and what fees apply. Vehicle impound details are also there, with a towing fee of $270, a processing fee of $25, and storage at $12 per day.

Juneau Bench Warrants at Dimond Courthouse

The Dimond Courthouse is the headquarters for the First Judicial District. It sits at 123 4th Street, Juneau, AK 99801. The clerk line is (907) 463-4700. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Juneau Superior Court handles felony and major civil cases. The Juneau District Court covers misdemeanors, traffic, and small claims. The Court of Appeals also holds sessions here.

Juneau bench warrant records are kept in the court's case management system. The clerk can verify warrant status for any case filed in the First Judicial District. Public access terminals are set up in the courthouse for walk-in searches. You can also use the statewide Alaska CourtView portal to search from home. Bail hearings for Juneau warrant arrests happen daily. The court provides self-help resources for people who need to resolve a bench warrant on their own.

Under Criminal Rule 4, a Juneau judge may only sign a warrant when there is probable cause. The judge must use a summons rather than a warrant unless there is a solid reason to believe the person will not show up. This rule applies to all Juneau bench warrants, whether the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony.

Note: Juneau court historical records go back to territorial days, so older bench warrants may be on file as well.

Alaska State Troopers in Juneau

AST A Detachment serves all of Southeast Alaska, including Juneau. The Juneau Post sits at 2760 Sherwood Lane, Suite 2A, Juneau, AK 99801. The phone number is (907) 465-4000. A Detachment coordinates with JPD, Ketchikan PD, and Sitka PD on warrant service across the region. The Southeast Alaska Cities Against Drugs task force, known as SEACAD, uses warrants for drug investigations in the area.

The detachment covers a wide geographic area that includes remote communities with no local police. Warrant info from AST cases is available through the statewide AST hot sheets page. The list updates daily and shows names, ages, bail amounts, charges, and warrant types. A Detachment also works with federal partners on interstate bench warrant matters when a person with a Juneau warrant leaves the state.

Under AS 12.25.030, troopers can arrest without a warrant in certain cases. But for Juneau bench warrants, they need the warrant document or confirmation from the statewide database before they pick someone up. The detachment posts are in Juneau, Ketchikan, and Prince of Wales Island.

Resolving a Juneau Bench Warrant

There are a few paths to clear a Juneau bench warrant. You can go to the Dimond Courthouse and ask the judge to recall the warrant. For small fines, some Juneau warrants can be cleared by paying online through the court's payment system. For more serious charges, get legal help first.

The court uses Form CR-330 for a Motion to Quash Warrant and Form CR-331 for the order. A judge will recall a Juneau bench warrant if the issue behind it is fixed. That might mean paying the fine, showing up for a rescheduled hearing, or meeting a condition that was missed. The Alaska Court System self-help criminal page has the forms and steps you need.

Steps to handle a Juneau bench warrant:

• Turn yourself in at JPD or a state trooper post
• Post bail at the courthouse or Lemon Creek Correctional Center
• File a Motion to Quash with the Dimond Courthouse
• Show up at the next hearing and ask the judge to recall
• Pay the fine online for minor warrants

Under AS 12.30.060, a Juneau bench warrant can be issued when a person fails to appear or breaks the terms of release. There is no time limit on the warrant. It stays active until the court recalls it or the person is served. The Alaska Department of Law Criminal Division handles state-level cases where a Juneau bench warrant is tied to a felony charge.

Juneau Warrant Search Through CourtView

CourtView is a free tool from the Alaska Court System. It covers all state courts, including the Dimond Courthouse in Juneau. Search by name, case number, or date to find case details, hearing dates, and warrant status. The system is updated daily but brand new Juneau bench warrants may take a day to show up.

For real-time Juneau bench warrant checks, call the clerk at (907) 463-4700. CourtView does not show sealed cases, juvenile records, or some protective orders. The system is a good first step, but the JPD Weekly Warrants Report and a direct call to the clerk will give you the most current picture of any Juneau bench warrant.

Note: The AS 12.35 section covers search warrants, which are different from Juneau bench warrants but follow similar court procedures in the First Judicial District.
