Public records requests are governed by the rules in Chapter 132 of the North Carolina General Statutes. All public records requests must pertain to records prepared, collected and/or maintained by the Hendersonville Police Department – not by other county agencies or departments.

After your request has been submitted, you may be contacted by a representative from the Hendersonville Police Department if clarifying information is needed. The representative will contact you once the records request process has been completed.
