They say because they are the property of the State of Alaska and they don’t take their own photos, the DMV does. Mugshots that relate to crimes processed through the Anchorage Police Department are kept private. However, all other police departments in the state take their own mugshots and do offer them as public records.
Mugshots originated in the late 1880s after photography was invented, and a police officer named Alphonse Bertillon, made it a regular practice. Typically, the suspect is photographed twice. Once from the front to get a clear picture of the face, then again from the side (profile) angle. These mugshots are used by witnesses, victims, and other investigators to identify criminals. Mugshots are part of the normal booking process after someone has been arrested.
Regardless of whether Alaska police officers apprehend a suspect that they have an active warrant on, or they arrest someone after they commit a crime, the booking process is the same.
The suspect will remain in jail until their hearing (where they appear before a judge) or someone pays their bond or bail.

If an officer suspects someone of committing a domestic violence crime, a misdemeanor or felony, they can detain them for questioning. If someone violates a domestic protective order or probation, an officer can arrest them as well.
