Lee County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that created or holds the record.
Where to Ask for Records
The following contacts are drawn from the official Lee County, Sanford, Broadway, and North Carolina sources. A phone call can route a request, but only the agency or court can confirm the current record.
Lee County Sheriff’s Office
1401 Elm Street
Sanford, NC 27330
Main: 919-718-4560
Crime Tip Line: 919-718-4577
Use the public-record request portal for a booking record or booking photograph.
Lee County Detention Facility
1401 Elm Street
Sanford, NC 27330
Detention information: 919-718-4567
Use the Current and Released inmate search for the public custody view.
Research did not find a separate booking-records unit, posted booking-photo fee, or guaranteed response time. Ask the public-record portal to identify the assigned custodian, fee, format, and response path.
City Police Contacts
Sanford Police Department
225 E. Weatherspoon Street
Sanford, NC 27330
Main: 919-775-8268
Records Division: 919-777-1015
Mailing: P.O. Box 3729
Use Sanford P2C for public arrests, events, and reports.
Broadway Police Department
119 South Main Street
Broadway, NC 27505
Mail: P.O. Box 130
919-258-9232
The official Broadway page did not show a public arrest log or online booking-photo request form.
For a Sanford police report, ask Sanford Records. For a Broadway incident, ask Town Police who holds the responsive record. For the county jail intake and any county-held photo, use the Lee Sheriff route separately.
Which Office Answers What?
- The Lee jail portal shows Current and Released custody records when the portal retains them.
- The Sheriff’s public-record portal handles a focused request for the county booking record or photo.
- Sanford P2C handles city police reports and events, with review time that can reach 48 hours.
- The Lee Clerk and magistrates handle court-file and process questions. The Clerk is listed at 919-718-6300 and magistrates at 919-718-6319.
- The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction handles state prisoner, probation, and parole records, not local jail records.
- The BOP or ICE locator applies only when custody is federal or immigration-related.
Use the county record-search page for the full path, including the difference between a booking record and court disposition. An arrest record or photograph is an accusation or custody record, not proof of guilt.
