Official Lee County Contacts
Lee County Sheriff’s Office: official sheriff page; main phone 919-718-4560; email bestes@leecountync.gov; crime-tip line 919-718-4577. Lee County Detention Facility: PO Box 4567, Sanford, NC 27331; jail phone 919-718-4567; official jail portal. No dedicated sheriff records-unit hours, fixed booking-record fee, or guaranteed response time were published in the reviewed official sources.
Do not rely on an unverified street address. One official North Carolina document lists 141 Elm Street, while older pages and directories show 1401 Elm Street. Because that physical-address discrepancy remains unresolved, use the verified jail PO Box for jail mail and call before any in-person visit.
