Easley Quick Facts
Where Easley Recent Bookings Are Processed
The Easley Police Department (EPD) makes arrests within city limits. After an arrest, most people are transported to the Pickens County Detention Center at 701 South Catherine Street, Pickens, SC 29671. This facility opened in 2019 and was designed to hold up to 363 inmates. It replaced an older, smaller building and now serves all of Pickens County, including Easley.
The detention center is managed by the Pickens County Sheriff's Office (PCSO). That means booking records for Easley arrests are held at the county level, not by the city. To find out who is currently in custody or who was recently booked, you use the PCSO inmate search portal rather than city resources. The Easley Police Department itself does not maintain a public inmate roster.
The Pickens County Sheriff's Office main address is 216 C David Stone Road, Pickens, SC 29671. The non-emergency phone number is (864) 898-5500. Both the sheriff's office and the detention center are located in the city of Pickens, about 10 miles from Easley.
Note: Under S.C. Code Ann. § 30-4-30(D), the identity of anyone booked into a county detention center must be immediately available to the public for the preceding three months during normal business hours.
Easley Arrest Records at the Pickens County Detention Center
The Pickens County Sheriff's Office provides an online inmate search portal at pickenssheriff.com. The portal lets you look up people currently held at the detention center. Results show the inmate's name, charges, booking date, and related details. You can search by name or inmate ID number.
Booking records for Easley arrests appear in this database once the individual has been processed at the detention center. The portal covers all agencies that use the Pickens County Detention Center, which includes the Easley Police Department, the Pickens County Sheriff's Office, and other local law enforcement agencies operating in the county.

State Tools for Easley Arrest Record Searches
South Carolina's SLED CATCH system provides statewide criminal history checks at catch.sled.sc.gov. Each name-based search costs $25 plus a $1 online convenience fee. You need a last name, first initial, and date of birth to run a search. Results include arrests, convictions, and pending charges from across South Carolina. SLED does not include juvenile records, sealed records, or federal offenses.
For court case records, the SC Public Index at publicindex.sccourts.org lets you search Pickens County criminal cases by name, case number, or filing date. This tool is free and covers circuit, family, and magistrate court records. It is a good supplement to the county inmate search when you want to see how a case moved through the courts.
The VINE system at vinelink.com allows family members and crime victims to track custody status changes. You can register to receive alerts by phone, text, or email when an inmate's status changes at the Pickens County Detention Center. Registration is free.
For inmates serving state prison sentences, the South Carolina Department of Corrections runs a separate search at doc.sc.gov. This system only covers people housed in state prisons, not those held at county detention centers. If someone has not yet been sentenced, use the county inmate search instead.
Under S.C. Code Ann. § 23-1-240, law enforcement agencies in South Carolina are required to report arrest data to SLED on an ongoing basis, which is how the CATCH system stays current with statewide arrest records.
