State Highway Patrol
The N.C. State Highway Patrol has more than 1,600 troopers who cover nearly 80,000 miles of North Carolina roadways (more than any other state except Texas). Their mission is to make the highways as safe as possible by enforcing the state's traffic laws, guiding traffic during hurricane evacuations and re-routing traffic around hazardous chemical spills. They also stand ready should any act of terrorism occur.

Statewide Automated Victim Assistance and Notification
North Carolina Statewide Automated Victim Assistance and Notification, NC SAVAN, is a criminal justice information-sharing system that supports automated victim notification. NC SAVAN operates a 24-hour toll-free automated offender information and notification service. Individuals may call the toll-free number, 877-NC SAVAN, 877-627-2826, to learn about an offender's status, to register for offender notification or to learn about victim assistance resources in their area.
Utility Complaint Investigation
File a complaint against a utility company through the Public Staff of the State Utilities Commission. Complaints may involve payment arrangements, billing disputes, deposits, service quality, and unauthorized service changes or fees. If your utility is operated by a municipality, address complaints to the NC Attorney General's Office, as The Public Staff has no jurisdiction over municipal systems.
