The North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry was established in January 1996 with the General Assembly's enactment of Article 27A of Chapter 14 of the North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS 14-208.5). This law requires persons living in North Carolina, non- resident students, and non-resident workers who are residents or who relocate to North Carolina and who have a reportable conviction to maintain registration with the sheriff of the county where they reside. The law also requires non-resident students and workers to maintain registration with the sheriff in the county where they attend school or work. The Registry is accessible at the following web address: https://www.nsopw.gov/
Information about offenders residing in the College’s immediate service area of Carteret County may be obtained through search options available on this web site. A written request for a paper copy of the countywide Registry may also be made to the Carteret County Sheriff’s Office.
