Greer Arrests and County Detention
Greer has a short-term holding area at its police station. This is not a full jail. Officers use it for initial processing after an arrest. People held for more than a brief time are transferred to the Greenville County Detention Center at 20 McGee Street in Greenville.
The Greenville County Detention Center is the main jail for all of Greenville County. It holds people waiting for trial, those serving short sentences, and people with outstanding warrants. When Greer Police make an arrest, the person may first go to the city holding area. From there, they move to the county jail. Once at the county facility, the person appears on the Greenville County jail roster.
