Greenville Jail Roster Quick Facts
How Greenville Arrests Lead to Bookings
Greenville Police Department patrols the city and makes arrests for crimes ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. GPD headquarters is at 715 W 5th St. After an arrest, the officer transports the person to the Pitt County Detention Center. The county sheriff's office runs the jail and handles all booking steps.
At the detention center, staff record the person's identity, take fingerprints, and snap a mugshot. A magistrate reviews the charges and decides the bond amount. Once booking is done, the record shows on the Greenville jail roster. The roster changes throughout the day as people are booked in or released.
Note: Greenville does not have its own city jail. North Carolina sheriffs manage all county detention centers under N.C.G.S. Chapter 153A.
