Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information New Hanover County Recent Arrests receives, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and choices available to visitors. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other detail entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain what you provide as needed to answer. We do not share the message beyond our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
