Juneau City and Borough Overview
Alaska CourtView and Juneau DUI Records
The Alaska Court System's CourtView public access portal is the best starting point for searching DUI records in Juneau. CourtView is free and lets you search by defendant name, case number, or hearing date. DUI misdemeanor cases in Juneau go to the district court level. Felony DUI matters, which apply on a third or subsequent offense within 10 years, go before the superior court. Both operate out of the Dimond Court Building at 123 4th Street, Juneau, AK 99801.
The Juneau Superior Court phone number is (907) 463-4700. The fax is (907) 463-3788. For jury-related information, the line is (907) 463-4706. Court hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm. Mailing address: P.O. Box 114100, Juneau, AK 99811. Copy fees follow the standard Alaska Court System schedule of $2.50 per page uncertified and $5.00 per document for certified copies.
CourtView shows charge information, case dates, and dispositions for filed cases. It does not always capture arrests that did not result in charges being filed. For a more complete picture of recent law enforcement activity, the Juneau Police Department's daily bulletin is a useful supplement.
Juneau Police Department Records
The Juneau Police Department is located at 6255 Alaway Avenue, Juneau, AK 99801. Phone: (907) 586-0600. Fax: (907) 463-4808. JPD maintains arrest records and criminal records for cases originating within the City and Borough of Juneau. The department's records request page provides an electronic form for submitting public records requests.
JPD posts a Daily Bulletin at approximately 3:00pm each weekday showing recent case activity. This bulletin is publicly available and can help you identify whether a recent DUI arrest is in the system before it appears in CourtView. The department has noted on its website that it is currently short-staffed, and longer wait times for records requests should be expected.
Juneau had 1,465 total arrests in 2022. DUI arrests have been tracked by the department for decades. The city recorded 257 DUI arrests in 2000, a figure that declined to 200 by 2011. For mugshots or booking photos, contact JPD directly to ask about availability and the request process.
JPD's records request form is available online and covers DUI arrest records, criminal history, and related case documents.
CBJ Municipal Code and DUI Charges
The City and Borough of Juneau has its own municipal code alongside Alaska state statutes. The CBJ Municipal Code covers traffic and motor vehicle matters in Title 72. CBJ 72.10.010(a)(1) addresses DWI charges involving alcohol or drugs. CBJ 72.10.028(a)(1) covers driving with a license canceled, suspended, or revoked for a DWI offense. These local code sections work alongside state law rather than replacing it. Most DUI prosecutions in Juneau proceed under Alaska state statutes, but local code provisions may also apply in certain cases.
Public records requests for CBJ administrative documents can be submitted by email to City.Clerk@juneau.org or by fax at (907) 586-4552. A records request form is available through the city's website. CBJ code section 01.70 governs the city's public records process. This applies to municipal government records rather than court records, which are held by the Alaska Court System.
CBJ Public Records Office
The City and Borough of Juneau's main offices are at 155 S. Seward Street, Juneau, AK 99801. The main phone number is (907) 586-5215. For administrative records requests, including records tied to local government functions, the City Clerk's office is the right contact. Court records for DUI cases are separate and stay with the Alaska Court System.
The official CBJ website at juneau.org connects to police records requests, public records forms, and municipal code information.
Southeast Alaska Therapeutic Court
Juneau is home to the Southeast Alaska Therapeutic Court, one of Alaska's dedicated DUI therapeutic court programs. This court serves Juneau, Sitka, and surrounding Southeast Alaska communities. It is designed as an alternative for people facing DUI charges who have substance abuse issues. Participants who complete the program may avoid standard criminal penalties, though case records are still maintained in the court system.
The program coordinates with tribal health organizations and local treatment providers. If you are searching DUI records for someone who went through the therapeutic court program, the case may appear differently in CourtView than a standard conviction. The case type and outcome fields in CourtView can give a sense of whether a therapeutic court disposition was reached.
Other Alaska Therapeutic Court locations include Anchorage, Bethel, Fairbanks, Kenai, and Palmer. More information is available through the Alaska impaired driving program page.
DPS Criminal Records and Background Checks
The Alaska Department of Public Safety's criminal background check portal provides name-based checks for $20 and fingerprint-based checks for $35. Results are delivered by email. DUI convictions from Juneau and anywhere else in Alaska appear in these results if they resulted in a criminal conviction. Alaska has no general expungement process for DUI convictions, so they stay in the record permanently.
The DPS Records and Identification Bureau is at 5700 East Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99507. Phone: (907) 269-5767. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:15am to 4:00pm. For statewide DUI history beyond what a single court case search will show, a DPS background check gives the most complete picture.
Alaska State Troopers and Daily Dispatch
Alaska State Troopers cover areas outside JPD's jurisdiction within the City and Borough of Juneau. For recent DUI incidents, the Alaska State Troopers Daily Dispatch lists recent arrests and incidents from across the state. This includes Southeast Alaska. The dispatch is updated regularly and is a public record. It is most useful for identifying very recent DUI arrests before the court case is fully entered into CourtView.
Alaska DUI Laws Governing Juneau Cases
Alaska's DUI statutes set the framework for all DUI cases in Juneau. The standard blood alcohol limit is 0.08% under AS 28.35.030. Commercial drivers face a 0.04% limit under AS 28.33.030. A first DUI conviction carries a minimum 72-hour jail sentence, $1,500 fine, and 90-day license revocation. A second DUI means at least 20 days in jail, a $3,000 fine, and a one-year revocation. A third or subsequent DUI within 10 years is a Class C felony, with a minimum of 120 days in jail, a $10,000 fine, and permanent license revocation.
Test refusal is a criminal offense under AS 28.35.032. Penalties match the standard DUI. Alaska's implied consent law is found at AS 28.35.031. All drivers on Alaska roads are treated as having consented to testing. A refusal does not prevent the revocation. It adds a second charge.
When a Juneau resident is arrested for DUI, the DMV administrative revocation process runs alongside the criminal case. The driver has 7 days from the arrest notice to request a hearing. The hearing process is detailed on the DMV website. Reinstatement after a DUI requires SR-22 insurance, Alaska Safety Action Program completion, and in most cases an ignition interlock device. See DMV reinstatement requirements for the full list.
DMV Driving Records
Alaska DMV driving records are $10 each and available through the DMV driving record page. A driving record shows revocations, reinstatements, and other license actions tied to DUI charges. This is separate from a court record and reflects the administrative record maintained by the DMV rather than the court case file. Alaska DUI convictions stay on the driving record permanently.
Legal Aid in Juneau
Alaska Legal Services Corporation has a Juneau office at 419 6th Street, Suite 322, Juneau, AK 99801. Phone: (907) 586-6425. This office serves Southeast Alaska and may be able to assist income-eligible residents with DUI-related legal matters, including navigating the court process and DMV hearings.
