The public index showing people who have been arrested and booked at Beaufort County Detention Center has been down since this past weekend due to an internal update, according to Cpl. Anderson with the Beaufort County Detention Center.
Anderson said that while the public cannot see the information regarding who has been recently arrested and booked at the detention center, internally they are still able to input inmates’ information to the system.
While he was unsure as to how long the public database on the website would be unavailable, he said that the issue is expected to be fixed once the update is complete.
Anderson was unsure about the exact date that the information went offline publicly, but he stated that when he arrived at work on Sunday it was no longer working.
The last publicly visible booking is from 4:37 a.m., Tuesday, June 17. There are no releases visible since Monday, June 16.
