Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026.

Moore County, North Carolina, has about 108,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Moore County depends on where the incident happened: the Moore County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the North Carolina Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Moore County
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.
In Moore County that is the Moore County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
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.
Reports from the Moore County Sheriff's Office
The Moore County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 66 violent and 342 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 2,062 arrests for 2025.
