Where Hyde County Questions Belong
For county jail and booking questions, start with the Hyde County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Guire Cahoon's department is listed at the Public Safety Center, 1223 Main Street, Swan Quarter, NC 27885. The mailing address is PO Box 189, Swan Quarter, NC 27885, and the published telephone number is 252-926-3171. Hyde County Jail is listed at the same address. No separate public jail information line or public hours for the sheriff or jail were verified in the reviewed sources, so call before traveling.
For a written request, use the Hyde County public-records request form. It asks for the records description and inclusive dates. The form directs returns to pio@hydecountync.gov, fax 252-926-3701, or PO Box 188, Swan Quarter, NC 27885. It states that a PDF sent by email is free unless another delivery method is requested, while reasonable fees may apply to paper, certified copies, postage, disks, or unusually large requests.
The courthouse is a different custodian. Hyde County Courthouse is at 40 Oyster Creek Road, Swan Quarter, NC 27885, phone 252-926-4700. The published courthouse hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check the North Carolina Courts location page before a visit.
- For a county booking record or a lawfully disclosable booking photo, use the sheriff's office and narrow the request by date and record type. The Hyde County search guide explains the records-request path because no verified official public roster or booking feed was found.
- For court events, warrants, summonses, bond entries, or later disposition, use the North Carolina eCourts Portal and the clerk. The site's Most Wanted Fugitives page explains why a court search is not the same as an official wanted list.
- For a person sentenced to state custody or under state probation or parole supervision, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search. It does not search Hyde County Jail.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator, which has its own identity requirements and does not provide a general mugshot gallery.
- For release or transfer notifications across North Carolina jails and state corrections, review NC SAVAN. It is an alert service, not a booking-photo search.
A booking is an accusation, not a conviction. A person may leave the county roster after release while a booking record remains with its custodian, and a person sentenced to state custody moves into a different records system. Verify each status with the agency that maintains it.
