Moore County Jail Roster
The Moore County Detention Center page links to inmate information, commissary, care packages, visitation, and phone information. The public inmate search is county-hosted and is separate from the NC Department of Adult Correction offender search. For current local custody, start with Moore County detention records. For prison, probation, parole, and older state correction history, use NC DAC instead.
The Detention Center phone is 910-947-2980, and the Sheriff main phone is 910-947-2931. The Detention Center contact popup lists 302 South McNeill St., Carthage, NC 28327. The Sheriff page uses 302 S McNeil Street for the Sheriff's Office. Because the county source uses both McNeil and McNeill spellings in different places, the phone number and official county links are important when confirming location details.
The official detention page is the county source for Moore County inmate records and jail-service links.
That county page is also where the official vendor links for commissary, care packages, visitation, and phones are routed.
Use Moore County Inmate Search
The Moore County Detention Center portal has three search modes: Inmates, Charges, and Days. The Inmates mode searches by name. The Charges mode searches charge descriptions. The Days mode searches over a recent number of days and shows a placeholder of 5, with visible instructions allowing 1 to 4 numbers. The portal also has links to view all inmates and all charges.
- Open the county detention portal from the Moore County Detention Center inmate information link.
- Choose Inmates for a name search, Charges for a charge-description search, or Days for a recent-custody search.
- Enter the search term or number of days and use the Search button for that tab.
- Use View all inmates or View all charges when a broad grid is more useful.
- Call the Detention Center if the portal result is unclear or custody status must be confirmed.
For court outcomes tied to an inmate's charges, use the court case record after finding the name or charge context. The jail grid is not the final source for dismissal, conviction, sentence, or probation status.
Moore County Inmate Search Fields
The detention portal's visible fields are more specific than a generic jail roster. It uses tab-based modes rather than a single all-purpose booking search. No public mugshot field, booking number field, height, weight, address, bond, or court-date field was documented in the captured grid inventory, so those should not be promised.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmates | Tab/link | Optional entry point | Searches by name. |
| InmatesSearchBox | Text | Optional | Name search field; no visible minimum length was captured. |
| Charges | Tab/link | Optional entry point | Searches by charge description. |
| ChargesSearchBox | Text | Optional | Charge-description search field. |
| Days | Tab/link | Optional entry point | Searches over recent days. |
| DaysSearchBox | Number | Optional | Visible placeholder is 5; instructions allow 1 to 4 numbers. |
Moore County Inmate Grid Fields
The inmates grid is titled "Moore County Detention Center - Inmates" and includes a grouping panel with the instruction to drag a column header to group by that column. The grid also has filter inputs under the visible columns. This makes it useful for sorting or filtering current custody results, but it is still a limited public view.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full Name | The inmate name shown in the public grid. |
| Age | The age displayed for the listed inmate. |
| Race | The race field shown in the public grid. |
| Sex | The sex field shown in the public grid. |
| Admit Date | The date the person was admitted into current detention records. |
| Charge Description | The charge label shown in the separate charges grid. |
The Moore County inmates grid is the public roster view for current jail listings.
The visible grid fields should guide expectations about what the county roster can and cannot answer.
Moore County Jail Charge Search
The charges grid is titled "Moore County Detention Center - Charges." It shows a numbered row and Charge Description, with a filter row for charge descriptions. This is useful when the search begins with an offense label rather than a name. It does not show the final court result and should be checked against court records for disposition.
The Moore County charges grid is the county source for detention charge descriptions.
Charge-description search can point to custody context, then a court case search can answer what happened after filing.
Moore County Detention Contacts
Moore County's research materials identify one county detention facility contact path rather than a list of multiple jail facilities. The Detention Center is part of the Sheriff's Office structure. For urgent safety issues, use 911. For non-emergency jail questions, use the detention phone or Sheriff main line published by the county.

County Jail vs NC DAC
Moore County inmate search is for county jail custody. The NC Department of Adult Correction offender search covers state prison, probation, parole, and other correction records, with historical data back to 1972, but the research file states that it does not include county jail information. A person can be absent from NC DAC and still be in county detention, or be absent from the county roster because the person is in state custody.
| Search | Best For | Does Not Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Moore County Detention Center | Current county jail custody, inmate grid, charges grid, recent days. | State prison, probation, parole, and historical prison records. |
| NC DAC offender search | State prison, probation, parole, and state correction history. | Moore County jail roster information. |
| NC VINE | Custody and criminal-case notification by phone, email, text, or TTY. | A full substitute for court case files or jail-service rules. |
For victims or family members who need notice of custody changes, North Carolina VINE is the notification channel identified in the research.
Moore County Visits and Phones
The Detention Center page provides quick links for inmate visitation and inmate phone information through NCIC. The county page itself did not publish a complete schedule table in crawlable text during the research pass. For that reason, the reliable instruction is to use the official NCIC link from the Detention Center page or call 910-947-2980 to confirm visit windows, account setup, ID rules, pricing, and phone access.
| Service | Official Channel | Schedule or Rule Status |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate visitation | NCIC link from the county Detention Center page. | Full schedule not visible in county crawl; confirm with NCIC or Detention Center. |
| Inmate phone information | NCIC link from the county Detention Center page. | Pricing and account rules not captured in county text. |
| Attorney or professional contact | Detention Center phone line. | Specific rules not published in captured county text. |
Note: Do not rely on an unofficial visitation schedule unless it matches the current county or NCIC information.
Commissary and Care Packages
Moore County links inmate commissary through JailATM and care packages through JailCanteen from the Detention Center page. The research did not capture county-published deposit limits, fee schedules, commissary prices, or package rules. Those details should be verified through the official vendor links or by calling the Detention Center.
Because commissary and care-package systems are vendor-hosted, names and account steps may differ from the county roster. Use the county Detention Center page as the starting point, then follow the vendor link from that official page rather than a search-engine advertisement.
The same source discipline applies to phone and visit services. The research file did not capture a county-published price list, holiday schedule, child visitor rule, mail format, or dress code. Those details can change through vendor contracts or jail policy. For a current rule, use the Detention Center quick link or call the jail, then compare any vendor instruction with the official county page that linked to it.
Moore County Jail Safety Policy
The Detention Center page publishes a PREA Standard section. It states that the Sheriff's Office has zero tolerance for inmate-on-inmate sexual assault, staff sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment toward any inmate. It also states that immediate action will be taken to protect inmates reasonably believed to be at substantial risk of imminent sexual abuse, allegations will be investigated, and retaliation against employees or inmates who report sexual abuse is not tolerated.
That policy is part of the official jail context even though it is not a search field. It can matter when a person is trying to contact the facility about safety, reporting, or custody concerns.
Moore County App and VINE
The Sheriff's Office page links to the Moore County Sheriff's Office app through OCV, with Google Play and Apple App Store badges. The official app landing page says "Stay Connected, Download Our App," but the crawlable text did not confirm an app-only inmate lookup or warrant lookup. The app can be named as an official Sheriff connection channel, but not as a documented roster feature.
The Moore County Sheriff's Office app landing page is the official OCV app link found in county materials.
Use the app as a Sheriff connection channel, while the county detention portal remains the documented public inmate search.
Incident Reports and Inmate Context
An inmate listing can identify current custody, but it may not explain the full event. Moore County Sheriff services say incident reports for county incidents can be requested or filed by calling 910-947-2931 or coming by the Sheriff's Office Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. If an incident occurred inside a municipality, the person should work with the local police department for that incident report.
Court charges, jail custody, incident reports, VINE notifications, sex-offender registry data, and state prison searches are separate channels. A careful Moore County inmate search checks the source that matches the question, then confirms with the Detention Center or Clerk when the result affects court appearance, bond, custody, or case status.
Municipal incident routing is another local limit. The Sheriff's services page says county incidents route through the Sheriff's Office, but incidents in municipalities should be handled by the local police agency. Carthage, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, and other municipal departments may hold the incident report even when a later court case appears in the statewide court portal. The detention roster can show current custody, but it does not identify every agency report that may have started the case.
Moore County Inmate Court Followup
An inmate record often raises the next question: where is the court case? For Moore County, current custody should be checked through the Detention Center, while hearing dates and filed charges should be checked through the NC eCourts Portal or the Clerk of Superior Court. The portal hearing search can use name, case number, attorney, judicial officer, courtroom, county, and date filters. The Clerk can help with paper files and certified copies when a public portal result is not enough.
Family members should also separate release status from case status. A person can leave jail before the case ends, stay in jail while charges are pending, or move from county custody to state custody after sentencing. VINE can help with notifications, NC DAC can help with prison or probation status, and the court file is still the source for disposition and sentence language.
