Direct answer
For Union County arrest records, use Sheriff Police2Citizen to identify the correct arrest, incident, or inmate record, save the source-specific identifier and date, then use the North Carolina court case for filed charges and disposition.
Union County Police2Citizen separates public-safety discovery from the later court record
The Union County Sheriff operates a Police2Citizen system for public arrest, incident, and inmate inquiries. Those functions are useful for finding the local law-enforcement event, but each answer has its own scope. An arrest result describes an arrest; an incident entry identifies a report; an inmate inquiry is a custody snapshot. Save the exact category you used along with the event or booking identifier and date.
The North Carolina Judicial Branch keeps the court case in a separate system and identifies the Union County clerk and judicial center as the place for county case records. If prosecution followed the arrest, carry the person and event date into the court search and preserve the case number there. This avoids turning a Police2Citizen entry into a claim about conviction or dismissal.
Preserve the field that belongs to each Union County record
| Record | Useful field | Do not substitute |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest inquiry | Arrest/event number + date | Court case number |
| Incident inquiry | Report number | Custody status |
| Inmate inquiry | Booking/custody identifier + lookup date | Final disposition |
| Court case | Case number | Sheriff event number |
