New Hanover County Busted Mugshots is privately owned and not affiliated with any Sheriff, jail, corrections department, or other government body. It is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners provide FCRA-covered services.
What the Service Provides
The pages point visitors toward New Hanover Sheriff P2C, the Detention Division, city police reports, eCourts, NCDAC, federal locators, and public-record request routes. They store no official custody or court records and cannot confirm a person’s status, release anyone, post bond, or file a legal document.
Descriptions of Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, the New Hanover County Detention Facility, and North Carolina agencies are offered for reference. Official offices control their own information.
Acceptable Use
- Use the pages only in ways allowed by law.
- Do not stalk, threaten, harass, or target another person.
- Do not make decisions about a person’s work, housing, credit, insurance, license, or benefits from these materials.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access to the service or a linked system.
- Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated collection against the pages.
- Do not interfere with availability or another visitor’s use.
FCRA Boundary
This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, consumer reports, or screening services, and its advertising or search partners are not authorized by this service to do so. Information may not be used for employment decisions, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.
Outside Links
Links lead to the New Hanover Sheriff, Wilmington and beach police departments, courts, NCDAC, BOP, ICE, local news, and third-party tools. Those destinations set their own terms, privacy rules, prices, content, and availability. A link is not an endorsement, and the service is not responsible for an outside page or search result.
No Warranty
Everything is supplied “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made about:
- Accuracy, completeness, or current status.
- Continuous access or uptime.
- Freedom from bugs, errors, or security weaknesses.
- Thoroughness or suitability of a partner search result.
Custody status and public records change. Nothing here is an official statement from the New Hanover Sheriff, a city police department, a court, NCDAC, or another government agency.
Liability Limit
To the fullest extent allowed by law, New Hanover County Busted Mugshots and the people involved in operating it are not liable for damages arising from access to or use of the service, linked tools, or information.

A user agrees to protect and hold harmless the service and its operators from claims, losses, costs, and legal fees arising from that user’s access, misuse, violation of these Terms, or violation of another person’s rights.

North Carolina Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of North Carolina. Disputes must be brought in a court located in North Carolina, subject to any law that requires another forum.
If One Term Fails
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected provision will be limited or adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
