Editor’s note: Welcome to the new Raleigh Public Record police blotter. The information below comes from the Raleigh Police Department. The blotter is not meant to report on everything that the RPD responds to, but instead is meant to give a representative sample of what Raleigh’s police responded to the day before. For now, this will run 5 days a week, but we may expand in the coming weeks to run every day. The information below is limited, so if you ever see something you want more information on, let us know and we will figure it out. Also, if you see something and want to know what happened, we can try to get more information on that, too. You can get in touch through the Contact page or leave a comment below.
