Which Agency Holds a Report from Pinehurst
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
Inside Pinehurst that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Pinehurst Police Department); outside it, the Moore County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries Firsthealth of the Carolinas and Moore County Schools (other agency) and the State Park Rangers at Weymouth Woods/Sandhills Nature Preserve (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
