Who to Contact in Johnston
For a current county inmate, booking record, or booking photo, begin with the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office contact page and identify the date and agency as clearly as possible. The current administrative office is listed at 2875 US HWY 70 BUS E, Smithfield, NC 27577. The mailing address is P.O. Box 1809, Smithfield, NC 27577. Office hours shown by current JCSO material are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Use 919-989-5040 for detention questions and 919-989-5010 for incidents and arrest reports. The non-emergency line is 919-989-5000. Verify the destination and hours before appearing because older county pages show former addresses.
- For a booking record or photo, use the Johnston search and records guide, then direct a request to JCSO or the arresting agency.
- For a warrant question, read the warrant guidance. JCSO says status is not disclosed by phone and requires an in-person inquiry with valid identification.
- For a recent arrest, use the county arrest search and current inmate inquiry on the home page.
- For a case result, contact the Johnston County Clerk at 919-209-5400, 207 E Johnston Street, Smithfield, or use NC eCourts.
- For a state prisoner, probationer, or parolee, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator. Neither is a county booking source.
