Concord Jail Roster Quick Facts
Concord Arrest and Booking Steps
Concord Police Department provides law enforcement for the city. CPD headquarters is at 41 Cabarrus Ave W. The non-emergency number is 704-786-9155. Records can be requested at 704-920-5052. When officers arrest a person in Concord, they transport the individual to the Cabarrus County Jail for booking.
At the county jail, staff collect personal information, take fingerprints and a mugshot, and log the arrest charges. A magistrate reviews the case and sets bond. Once booking is done, the record appears on the Concord jail roster. The roster updates throughout the day as new bookings and releases happen. CPD also offers fingerprinting services at the police department.
Note: Concord does not have a city jail. Under N.C.G.S. Chapter 153A, county sheriffs operate all detention facilities in North Carolina.
Looking Up Concord Inmates
The Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office at cabarruscounty.us/sheriff provides tools to search for current inmates. You can search by name to find people on the Concord jail roster. Results show charges, bond amounts, and booking information. The search is free and does not require registration.
You can also call the sheriff's office at 704-920-3000 to check on a person's custody status. For victim alerts, use VINELink or NC SAVAN. Both services provide free, confidential notifications when an inmate's status changes on the jail roster.
Concord Jail Roster Record Details
All entries on the Concord jail roster are public records under N.C.G.S. Chapter 132. The Public Records Act guarantees access to arrest and booking data. Anyone can search without giving a reason.
Each record includes:
- Inmate name and date of birth
- Charges at time of booking
- Bond amount and type
- Arresting agency
- Booking date
These records show the initial arrest. Charges can change later as the district attorney reviews the case. For court updates and case outcomes, check nccourts.gov. The jail roster only shows current custody status, not how a case ends in court.
