Start With Hertford County
For county custody, booking, charges, or release conditions, begin with the Hertford County Sheriff’s Office or its Detention Center. The official contact block lists:
- Hertford County Sheriff’s Office, 701 North Taylor Street, Winton, NC 27986;
- mailing address: P.O. Box 176, Winton, NC 27986;
- main telephone: 252-358-7800;
- Inmate Information: 252-358-7840; and
- published email: sheriff_hayes@hertfordcountync.gov.
The county website gives ordinary administrative hours as 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The sheriff describes public-safety operations as 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A dedicated booking-photo form, records-unit email, current photo fee, and fixed turnaround promise were not identified, so call first and ask for the correct custodian before sending a request or visiting.
Where to Look for Each Record
Different records can belong to different offices. Use the route that matches the question:
- Booking or mugshot: the Hertford County search and records guide explains how to ask HCSO for an existing booking or photograph, if maintained and releasable.
- Custody, charges, or bond and release conditions: call HCSO Inmate Information at 252-358-7840. The detention center does not set bond, change court dates, render verdicts, or determine punishment.
- Court event or disposition: use the Hertford County NC Courts page, the eCourts Portal, or the Clerk of Superior Court at 252-358-7100. Court results are not the same as the original booking record.
- Ahoskie arrest or incident report: contact the Ahoskie Police Department at 201 West Main Street, Ahoskie, NC 27910, 252-332-5146. Its reviewed page does not show a daily arrest log or mugshot feed.
- Murfreesboro police record: use the Murfreesboro Police Department at 252-398-4151. The department page describes 24-hour service but does not publish an arrest log or booking-photo page.
- Winton town record: use the Town of Winton at 405 Main Street, Winton, NC 27986, 252-358-3041, to verify the local records route. The town site does not publish a police roster or mugshot feed. County custody questions go to HCSO.
- State, federal, or immigration custody: use the NC DAC offender search for state custody or supervision, the BOP locator for federal inmates, and the ICE locator for people in ICE custody. None is a Hertford County booking-photo source.
A North Carolina Chapter 132 request should identify the person, approximate date, arresting agency, and booking number if known. Ask for the existing booking or entry/release record and photograph “if maintained and releasable,” along with an electronic-copy estimate and the reason for any withholding or redaction.
