Which Agency Holds a Report from Rockingham County

In Rockingham County that is the Rockingham 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 Mayo River and the State Park Rangers at Haw River (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
