Updated Information On North Carolina Police Reports

By Ben Kingsley


According to the US Census Bureau, North Carolina, a state located in the South East of the US, ranks number 10 among all the 50 states in the US as of the year 2013 with an estimated population of 9.7 million. It is popularly known as the Old North State or the Tar Heel State. The state is made up of over 100 different counties each being significant in its own way. This population is comprised of mostly Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and multiracial Americans. In a state as densely populated as North Carolina, meeting all kinds of people is indeed relatively possible. Finding new friends and possible lifetime partners can be quite easy too. As such, it is really important to be extra wary when engaging with people you barely know most especially if you're interested to build a relationship with an individual you just met. This is where background checks can really be useful. With background checking, you get to delve deeper into the significant details of an individual you want to investigate or scrutinize more. Doing a background check can be done by checking over vital records particularly North Carolina police records.

There are various ways to obtain a copy of a police record. You can go to the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court in the relevant county, to the State Bureau of Investigation, or to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In any of these offices, you have to file a request by filling up an application form which can be obtained directly from these agencies or be downloaded from their websites. The Office of the Superior Court provides copies of North Carolina police records for a fee of $25. The State Bureau of Investigation does the same service for a payment of only $14. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in the state also provides police records for a fee of $18. If you wish to search for a police record in the state without paying too much, you can refer to public access terminals available in the clerk's office for police records, either your own record or that of other individual. However, such searches and the records these public access terminals provide are not certified and you have to pay a minimal charge for printing.

In obtaining a copy of police records in any of the offices mentioned above, you have to provide the significant details of the individual you want scrutinized such as his or her full name and date of birth. As the one requesting the record, you also have to include in the application form your full name and your phone number. Bear in mind that these searches are finger-print based therefore you are to include a fingerprint card along with your request. A background check search in North Carolina is called "right to review" check.

There are actually other repositories for North Carolina police records. Several vendors or companies also provide police records that are non-certified statewide. The police records these vendors have in their database are actually provided by the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts and the databases such companies have are accurate reflections of that of the Administrative Courts' Office. Nonetheless, the courts' office cannot guarantee that the police records these vendors offer to their customers are current and precise.

In addition, aside from these vendors allied with the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts, there are several online record providers all over the web not related with the courts' office but having their own database accessible anytime you need to. There is nothing to fret about with these independent online record providers as they have their database containing the records you need. What's more, these online providers do not require you to pay for each request you make. A minimal fee is charged and with that, you can already have unlimited access to their database. Besides, you also get to save time. Instead of the typical days to weeks processing time, they can provide you with the police record you need in a matter of minutes. Acquiring records has never been this easy with the help of the Internet.

With over 9.7 million people making North Carolina their dwelling place, demarcating anyone with a shady past is not an easy task. Hence, background checks are very crucial. Because public police records indicate any misdemeanour or felony done by an individual, you get to know how to decide when wanting to let somebody into your life. Without a doubt, this is really very helpful as this does not only help protect yourself and your loved ones, but also, it does save you a lifetime of misery.
