Why We Built This Site
South Carolina provides several public access routes, yet each route answers a different question. The Union County Detention Center keeps booking and custody material. Court clerks preserve charges, docket events, and dispositions. South Carolina Law Enforcement Division maintains the statewide repository, while the South Carolina Department of Corrections and South Carolina Sex Offender Registry Tool serve separate functions. We organize verified portals, request routes, fees, and office contacts so readers can begin with the proper custodian.
What You Will Find Here
- Local record routes: where Union County arrest, custody, and court files originate
- Official check instructions: how SLED CATCH and authorized fingerprint channels differ
- Office details: how to reach Union County courts, sheriff functions, and statewide record systems
- Expungement information: which South Carolina court or solicitor receives an eligible request
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site, not part of a South Carolina court, police department, sheriff's office, or state agency. Those limits matter:
- We cannot run an official background check or pull a criminal record for anyone
- We cannot file expungement petitions, records requests, or any other paperwork on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any criminal record, court document, or rap sheet
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific charge or case applies to you
- We cannot promise that an office address, fee, phone number, or procedure has not changed
An official record must come from its custodian, such as the Union County court, sheriff, or South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
