Robeson County, North Carolina, has about 119,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Robeson County depends on where the incident happened: the Robeson 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 Robeson 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 Robeson County that is the Robeson 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 the State Park Rangers at Lumber River (state agency) and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (campus police), each with a records office of its own.
