Find a current Cabarrus County jail inmate
Review the result carefully and match the person by the identifying details shown in the official listing. If the online listing does not answer a records question, use the Sheriff's Office public records request process for jail records.
Sheriff's Office jail record requests
The Sheriff's Office Public Records Request form includes a specific option for a Jail Record Request. The form also includes request categories for dispatch records, incident reports, civil records, and other records.
Use the form when you need a record request handled through the Sheriff's Office rather than a current inmate lookup.
