How to Obtain Records of SC, Berkeley County arrests

Information on Berkeley County arrests can be obtained by anyone; it is presented to the public on the Internet. The county's warrants and court records are also accessible to any searcher interested in running a criminal records search on other people. The main challenge is to reach the right sources quickly and efficiently. The following article will help you overcome this challenge.

Finding Berkeley County arrest records

The official website of the sheriff contains an inmate lookup tool. You do not need to type more than a name and you will get a list containing detainees currently in custody. Each file comes with a mugshot and details, such as offense description, booking and release date and the law enforcement agency that made the arrest. You can also contact the Booking Unit of the county jail at 843-719-4876 and garner information about inmates that house their facility. In case you wish to locate an inmate beyond the county's jurisdiction, we recommend undertaking a wider South Carolina offender search by referring to the computerized data bank on the SCDC's website. It displays people incarcerated in the state's correctional facilities.

Carrying out a warrant search

To locate Berkeley County warrants, pay a visit to the sheriff office (223 N Live Oak Dr, Moncks Corner, SC 29461, United States. Telephone: 843-719-4465). The county does not operate an online database of outstanding and active warrant. And so any inquiry must be conducted offline.

Locating Berkeley County court records

Documents issued by the court can give you a reliable indication of a person's criminal history since they contain information on his / her past prosecutions and convictions. The website of the clerk of courts will refer you to the case records search tool managed by the South Carolina Judicial Department. You will need to choose a county. Then you will reach a database that shows all dockets from all types of courts. Take into account, though, that some of the records may be sealed, especially criminal records involving juveniles.

Performing a sex offender search

To locate sex offenders, refer to the state's registry.  You can base your search either on an offender's name or on his/ her address. You can sign up and get notifications when an offender moves to your area.
