Apex Jail Roster Quick Facts
Apex Arrests and County Detention
The Apex Police Department handles law enforcement in town. APD's non-emergency line is 919-362-8661. When APD officers arrest someone, the person is transported to the Wake County Detention Center. Apex has no jail of its own, so the county facility serves as the booking location for all Apex arrests.
At the Wake County jail, staff process the intake. They take the person's fingerprints, a mugshot, and personal details. A magistrate then reviews the case and sets the bond amount. After booking is done, the arrest appears on the Apex jail roster as part of the Wake County inmate population. The arresting agency field shows Apex PD for those arrested by town officers.
Note: Multiple Wake County police departments use the same detention center. Under N.C.G.S. Chapter 153A, the county sheriff operates the jail for the entire county.
Finding Apex Inmates Online
The Wake County Sheriff's Office at wake.gov provides an inmate search. You can search by name to find people on the Apex jail roster. The tool shows current inmates with their charges, bond amounts, and booking details. It covers all inmates at the Wake County Detention Center, not just those from Apex.
Call the detention center at 919-773-7930 to check custody status by phone. For victim alerts, use VINELink or NC SAVAN. Both are free and confidential. They alert you when an inmate's status changes.
Apex Booking Record Information
