The #WakeCounty Bureau of Forensic Services is updating their arrest record portal and opening two public information kiosks. 🔎

Starting Nov. 23, the portal will contain arrest records from the last 30 days and will not host arrestee photos. You can visit the kiosks for all photos and for records more than 30 days old.

One kiosk is in the Public Safety Center in downtown #Raleigh, and the other is in the Wake County Detention Center.

Why the change? We want to continue providing this public resource while also ensuring data accuracy.
