In Pasquotank County that is the Pasquotank 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 Elizabeth City State University (campus police), with a records office of its own.
