Can police reports be requested by other than subpoena or discovery in North Carolina?

Police reports are generally considered public records with few exceptions. The process to request police can be seen on their individual department website. When the case is not sealed by a judge, and is available as they generally are, the court files may have the report or information of the report.

How can I find out all criminal records for a person in North Carolina?

Check with the criminal court's records, which are generally open to the public unless sealed. Depending on the county, criminal court records can be obtained or viewed online. The link above (North Carolina Court Records) will take you to North Carolina District and Superior Court Query criminal cases on calendar in case there were recent filings.

How can I obtain records listed for myself on a particular year if I only have case numbers but don't know what these records are for?

The case numbers (not always) give some clues as to the type or where the case was filed. The North Carolina courts offer information about searches from their site. The clerks have contact information for any questions from the public. The North Carolina court system's website offers a background search for yourself or others, including business or agency purposes which employers may be using.

How can I find out if someone has a warrant for their arrest in North Carolina?

Check with the county or local police department, they execute the warrants and some publish the warrant lists online.

How to find out about the safety of a certain neighborhood?

I have used crime mapping sites several times in the past and continue to do so. Crime mapping sites are not all the same, some cover certain areas, while others don't. So, if you don't see a certain neighborhood using a crime mapping site, doesn't mean they're not covered, try other ones. You will also see crime mapping site links on many law enforcement agency websites. You will see incidents based on a street address or zip code.

How can I find out if there was a civil suit previously filed against the builder of a home?

Try the court search above which can be expanded to all US states. Court records are public records, however, obtaining them is another issue. Public records do not need to be convenient, if certain records are easy to obtain from one county, they will not necessarily be as easy from another. You can also check business registrations to see the company's or parent company's status and standing.

Open-Public-Records.com (Staff)
Where can I read precedent case results regarding the distribution of trust assets following the termination of a trust?

That's a matter of legal research, not an issue pertaining to finding public records. North Carolina's laws/statutes are online and open to the public, start with looking up North Carolina General Statutes

Open-Public-Records.com (Staff)
How do I find arrest records if I don't know where he was arrested?

You can begin arrest news wires where you can see all recent arrests listed by date. Under "North Carolina Free Arrest Records" is a list of arrests, which can go further back in time by expanding the page (clicking on "more"). Arrest information is released by individual police/sheriffs departments along with news organizations. There's no guarantee as to all arrests will show up from just about any source, however, it is an open and free search worth checking and used by many.

Where do I find license, education and general info?

By license, if you mean a professional license checks, they can be conducted individually (such as counselors, it's the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors). You will need to look up records individually, there's no free site where you can simply enter a name and everything shows up for free. You will need to dig them up, and in certain cases pay a fee which may come from any government records division.

Trying to look for my grandparents. My mom was born bessie lee norwood in 1949. She passed away in 2013 and never gave us names of her parents?

Wouldn't this type of information be archived? The records you're looking for will need to go back many years. Archived records, or of the deceased are not under the same public records laws. States that do not allow open general public access to vital records (marriage, death, birth, divorce...), however, records that are over fifty years old or of the deceased are available to anyone. Have you tried ancestry searches or archives?

If there not a conviction on DV then there are several ways to pull up someone arrest record tho. If u google the persons name,, it will pull up any newspaper or online stories regarding incidents that lead to that persons arrest, u can also pay for a background search with all information on any public record website.

How do I locate traffic violations?

There is a free North Carolina statewide citation/traffic violation search that can be conducted by following this link https://www.nccourts.gov/ you will arrive at the state court's home page where you will find a set of links on the right. Look for the court calendars link (the seventh one down from the top). The court calendars page will have another set of four links, click on Court Calendars, and that will take you to the next page with the link: Citation Query by Defendant Name, on the left side of the page. Once you enter that link, you will be able to search citations by name freely and instantly. If you don't put anything other than a letter, such as "S" for example, you will see all the defendants with the last name starting with S, you do not need to know the entire last name.
