The P2C portal lets you search criminal records by date range, event type, and location within Greenville. The results show details about each incident including the type of offense, date, and general area where it occurred. This system is particularly useful for reviewing recent criminal activity in Greenville. For older criminal records or certified copies, you should contact the Records Division directly.
The P2C system also supports online filing of non-emergency police reports in Greenville. When a resident files a report online, it enters the same system as reports taken in person or over the phone. These reports become part of the criminal records database and are searchable through the portal once they have been processed by the department.
