NC State Bureau Of Investigation

Established in 1929, North Carolina State Highway Patrol is a law enforcement agency that works towards reducing collisions and making the highways of North Carolina safe and crime free. It employs a staff of more than 1,800 troopers who cover over 78,000 miles of North Carolina roadways. The law enforcement agency performs duties related to impaired driving, the seizure of drugs and investigations of fatal collisions on highways. North Carolina State Highway Patrol also guides traffic during hurricane evacuations, re-routing traffic around hazardous chemical spills and terrorist occurrences. With a troop location in Raleigh, N.C., it supports and conducts a variety of safety programs for bicycles, seat belts and school buses.

The North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission (ABC Commission) oversees the regulation and permitting of alcohol sales within the state. They issue retail permits to various businesses, including restaurants, grocery stores, and commercial establishments such as breweries and distilleries, facilitating responsible alcohol consumption and community investment. Last year, the ABC Commission collected over $21 million from permit renewal and registration fees, redistributing these funds to vital community services, including education and law enforcement. Additionally, they actively promote initiatives aimed at reducing underage drinking through community partnerships and training programs for alcohol servers and sellers. Generated from the website
