§ 46-85. Investigation by the chief of police.

Latest version.

The applicant's criminal history shall be investigated by the chief of police or his designee prior to the issuance of a permit. There shall be no dissemination of criminal records to non-criminal justice agencies. Pursuant to G.S. 160A-304(a), the chief of police is authorized to conduct a national criminal history background check on any applicant and is hereby authorized to use FBI records to perform such check. If the chief of police determines that a national criminal history background check may provide relevant information regarding the applicant's fitness for receipt of a permit, the chief of police shall comply with the procedures contained in G.S. 160A-304(a) for obtaining the necessary authorizations and information and for providing that information to the SBI and the Department of Justice. The town may charge an additional fee to cover the costs of a national criminal history background check if one is performed.
