Greer Quick Facts
How Greer Arrests Are Booked
Greer Police officers patrol the city at all hours. When they make an arrest, the booking location depends on geography. The city crosses the Greenville-Spartanburg county line. Arrests on the Greenville County side go to the Greenville County Detention Center. Arrests on the Spartanburg County side go to the Spartanburg County Detention Facility. This split is unique among South Carolina cities.
At either facility, the booking process is the same. Staff check the person's identity. Fingerprints are taken and sent to SLED. A booking photo is taken. All charges are recorded. A bond judge reviews the case and sets bail. The full record enters the 24 hour booking log for that county. Both facilities operate around the clock, so booking starts right after arrest.
