Choose the Right Office
For custody and receiving-jail questions, contact the Chowan County Sheriff’s Office, 305 W. Freemason St., Edenton, NC 27932, at (252) 482-8484. Mail goes to P.O. Box 78, Edenton, NC 27932. The Administration Division handles records Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except county holidays. For an Edenton Police report, contact Rachel Cade at extension 102 through (252) 482-5144 or visit 301 N. Oakum St., Edenton, NC 27932. Call before visiting because separate Police Department records hours were not verified.
For a filed case or disposition, use the Chowan County court page. For a sentenced state prisoner, use the NCDAC offender search. The VINE Arrest Check covers eligible custody notifications.
Prepare Your Request
Have the full name, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and incident location. Ask which jail accepted the person before seeking a booking record. No verified online Chowan roster was found, and the 2026 detention transition makes old facility assumptions unreliable.
