Fairbanks Offices

The Fairbanks District Office oversees the supervision of felony offenders on probation or parole across a vast region that extends from the Alaska Range to the Brooks Range, covering the Tanana and Yukon River watersheds-over 37% of Alaska, an area larger than California. This office also supports regional offices in Bethel, Nome, Kotzebue, and Utqiagvik, offering training, staffing, and coverage for rural caseloads. Of the approximately 500 supervised offenders, over 60% reside in the Fairbanks metropolitan area, while the district encompasses over 40 communities, ranging in population from Fairbanks (about 32,500) to remote villages with fewer than 10 residents. Many of these communities are accessible only by air, with others located along rural road systems extending south to the Canadian border, north to the Brooks Range, and west to Kaltag.

The Fairbanks Pretrial Enforcement Office supervises defendants awaiting trial in Bethel, Fairbanks, Kotzebue, Nome, and Utqiagvik. This dedicated team works year-round, focusing on enhancing public safety and supporting both the community and victims. They guide defendants toward successful outcomes during supervision, ensuring they meet the conditions of their release while awaiting trial.
