This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly for those services.


Choose the Right Office

The Craven County Sheriff’s Office is at 1100 Clarks Road, New Bern, NC 28562. Call 252-636-6620 for the business office, 252-636-6619 for detention questions, or 252-636-6630 for the county-listed records and law-enforcement support contact. The research did not establish public counter hours, so confirm availability before visiting. Different records have different custodians:

  • For a county booking record or releasable booking photo, start with the county arrest hub and then ask the Sheriff’s Office custodian.
  • For a person just booked, use the official active roster or call the detention question line.
  • For a New Bern, Havelock, or Trent Woods police report, contact that city’s police records route.
  • For a filed case or final disposition, contact the Craven County Clerk of Superior Court at 252-639-3000.
  • For state prison, probation, or parole, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP Inmate Locator or ICE detainee locator.
