Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Moore County Detention Center
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, check the roster again later or contact the facility directly for guidance. Information may change as charges, court dates, bond status, or release status are updated.
