Public Records
The WRAL Public Records section is first and foremost a public service. Information is power and this section provides citizens a powerful resource for locating and evaluating public records and other governmental information.
We believe that access to public information is a freedom that extends to everyone — not just to those who have the time, expertise and persistence to find it on their own. Public records are often difficult to locate, assemble and organize. This public records section provides easy access to data that is open and available to all citizens. It is an ongoing initiative that will expand as more public records become available.
Federal and state law protects the public's right to know. To learn more, read the Freedom of Information Act and the North Carolina Open Records Law.
