NOTICE OF RIGHTS

(Non-Discrimination – Title VI of the Civil Rights Act) 

The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office is not only an equal opportunity employer, but also strictly prohibits any form of bias or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual preference, when we provide law enforcement services to residents of or visitors to the Guilford County community.  If you believe you have experienced any form of bias or discrimination by Sheriff’s Office employees, you have the right under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to lodge a complaint by contacting the Sheriff’s Professional Standards Division (Internal Affairs) at 336-641-2495.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: 

In accordance with NC Senate Bill 41, effective immediately we are no longer issuing pistol purchase permits. Individuals may now go directly to firearm dealers and retail establishments.  Any person seeking to purchase a handgun through a firearms dealer will undergo the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) criminal background check required under current law and either be sold the handgun or denied sale if a criminal history search indicates the person is disqualified from possessing a firearm. Please visit the NICS website for instructions on appeals.
