How Booking Works in Cary
When Cary police make an arrest, the person is transported to the Wake County Detention Center for processing. Booking officers record the person's name, date of birth, address, and the charges. A photograph and fingerprints are taken. This creates the Cary 72 hour booking record.
The record is then available through the county's online systems. Most booking records appear within hours. The 72 hour window is a general guideline, not a hard rule. Some records post faster. Others may take slightly longer depending on the volume of arrests in Wake County on a given day.
After booking, the person may post bond and leave. Or they may stay in custody until a court hearing. Either way, the booking record remains in the system. It does not go away when someone is released. Cary 72 hour booking records stay accessible through the CCBI portal going back to 2007.
Note: A booking record is not a conviction. It shows an arrest and initial charges. The outcome of the case is tracked through the court system, not the booking system.
