Alaska Law Enforcement & Borough Records

Alaska does not have county governments or county sheriffs. The state is organized into boroughs and a single Unorganized Borough. Statewide rural law enforcement is provided by the Alaska State Troopers (AST), a division of the Alaska Department of Public Safety. Municipal police departments cover the larger cities (Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau). Court services are handled by the Alaska Court System, not by a sheriff.

⚠ Alaska does not have traditional county sheriffs

This page previously contained generic state-template content describing a county sheriff system that does not exist in Alaska. The directory below lists the agencies that actually perform these functions.
