The Durham County Detention Facility is at 219 South Mangum Street, Durham, NC 27701, with an information line at 919-560-0912. The Records Division is on the courthouse first floor and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call 919-560-0898 or 919-560-0899 for records and incident reports. Booking-record or photo requests may be directed to PIO@DurhamSheriff.org or 919-560-0826.

Choose the office or official lookup that matches the type of record and custody:

  • For a Durham booking record, photograph, roster entry, or warrant route, begin with the county arrest hub and then contact DCSO.
  • For someone just processed, use the official roster path on Arrested Today; a blank result may require a call to the detention facility.
  • For a custody change or release alert, use VINE Arrest Check.
  • For a Durham Police incident or arrest report, use the department's Police-to-Citizen system or city records portal.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner or state supervision record, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator rather than the Durham roster.
