FAIRBANKS PROBATION OFFICE

The Fairbanks District Office currently is charged with oversight of felony offenders, including tracking offenders who have absconded from probation and/or parole. The office is responsible for a geographic area extending from the Alaska Range to the Brooks Range, including the Tanana and Yukon River watersheds - over 37% of Alaska and an area greater than the size of California, the Nation's third largest state.

Most (well over 60%) of the probation district's approximately 800 supervised offenders live within the Fairbanks metropolitan area. The probation district contains a total of more than 40 communities, with populations ranging in size from approximately 31,000 (Fairbanks) to fewer than 10 (e.g., Kallands). Usually, the District supervises offenders living in about half of those communities. Many of them are fly-in only, with no road connection.

The office is staffed by two District Supervisors, 11 probation- parole officers (10 of whom supervise offenders and the one who writes presentence reports on a full-time basis), three criminal justice technicians, and one office assistant. Three probation officers provide supervision to specialized caseloads: sex offenders, chronically mentally ill offenders, and Felony Driving Under the Influence offenders. Two probation officers supervise drug-related and high-risk offenders. Two other probation officers supervise the rural regions. Of those, one supervises the rural areas near the road system - south from Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway to the Canadian Border, and also south on the Parks Highway to Cantwell. The other "rural" probation officer supervises the area north of Fairbanks to the Brooks Mountain Range and east to Kaltag, all of which is primarily inaccessible by road.

Fairbanks Probation Office publishes the names of the inmates currently in their facility in Alaska. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.

The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content to access and utilize any or all of the InmateAid services. If you need our assistance creating your inmate profile to keep in touch, email us at aid@inmateaid.com and we will assist you in locating your inmate.

As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason, they charge to access it.
