Questions about an official Columbus County criminal record belong with the government office that created or maintains it. The contacts below route court files to the Clerk of Superior Court, sheriff reports and bookings to the sheriff, municipal reports to the proper police department, and personal statewide record reviews to the North Carolina SBI.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference cannot retrieve records, conduct an official check, correct or remove a record, or accept an expunction filing. Contact the responsible agency directly.

  • Sheriff reports and bookings: Columbus County Sheriff's Office, 817 Washington Street, Whiteville, NC 28472; 910-642-6551; call to verify counter hours
  • Current detention status: Columbus County detention line, 910-640-6628
  • Your fingerprint-linked state record: North Carolina SBI Criminal Information and Identification Section through its Right to Review process
  • City police reports: Whiteville PD at 910-642-8046, Tabor City PD at 910-653-3149, or Chadbourn PD at 910-654-4146
