Choose the route that matches the information you need:

  • For a booking record or photograph, begin with the home-page records guide and use the sheriff's official Incident Report Request route when appropriate.
  • For warrant or post-release supervision information, follow the official warrant and court paths.
  • For a fresh booking, compare 24 Hour Arrests with the multi-day Arrest Log.
  • For current custody or a release alert, use the sheriff's app-only inmate search and the VINELink Check guidance.
  • For the county detention facility, use the address and 24-hour sheriff number above; no separate facility page is published on this site.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction Offender Public Information Search.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, as applicable.
