Wake County Arrest Records
Wake County arrest records function as formal records of alleged criminal activity and the resulting law enforcement response. People can request booking information and related arrest details from an arresting agency in accordance with provisions in North Carolina's Public Records Law.
Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 132-1.4, the time, date, and violation or apparent violation of the law are public records, as are the name, age, sex, address, and employment of the suspect or arrestee. Record seekers may likely find these details when reviewing a public arrest record.
Law enforcement may keep everything else confidential, especially information that may identify people, places, or items/information critical to an ongoing investigation.
