(March 2026) Request for North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation: Related to employment records, Oath of Office, and Bond.
Good evening Chad, Kim, Janina, Bryan, Jody, (Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records),
Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
The request specifically seeks records held by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation [NC SBI], relating to the following SBI personnel:
1) J. A. Alderman – Special Agent
2) J. D. Bare – Special Agent
Please provide the electronic copy of the following records for each individual:
A. Complete employment history with the NC SBI, including date of hire, position history, and current employment status.
B. The Oath of Office executed upon entering public service, including any renewals or subsequent oaths taken during employment.
C. Documentation of any official bond, fidelity bond, or surety bond required as a condition of holding the office of Special Agent, including:
- Bond number
- Bonding company
- Coverage amount
- Effective dates
- Copies of the bond instrument
D. Records identifying the statutory authority requiring the oath and bond for the position held.
E. The name and contact information for the “Custodian of Records” responsible for maintaining these documents, if they are maintained outside of the SBI.
** I’m simply requesting electronic copies of electronic records, if they exist. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, these electronic records. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copies of these records already exist). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for it’s denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **

The request has been sent solely by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me.

Understood re: “J.A. Alderman”.
—–
In regard to form Agent J.D. Bare.
Your letter cites a human resources statute, and that you have “no other public records” that are responsive to my request, besides the salary and employment history provided.
I’d just like you to confirm explicitly whether you do actually have access to those records, and just will not be providing them. Or, if you’re saying there are literally no responsive records. Many entities have provided me with Oaths of Office and other records as requested.
Thank you.

On further inspection of your letter just now — I actually requested much more than what has been provided to me. I cannot mark this request as completed.
Please provide the rest of the records as requested on March 19th, and please explain why they were not provided initially:

That is in fact my correct mailing address:
Sunshine Request
PO Box 17391
Asheville, NC 28816
I’m not sure why it was returned to you recently. But I’m guessing perhaps that your letter required a signature. In which case, unfortunately our post office returns letters and packages, almost instantly. This is a recurring issue.
——
However, I can see from the stamp on the envelope, as well as the content of the letter (May 07), that you did not mail me this letter until after the start of May.
I submitted my records request on March 19th. On April 7th, Chad Flowers stated the records were mailed to my PO Box the week prior.
– There was never a need to mail me physical copies to my PO Box. An emailed response is satisfactory, and is what was requested. I simply provided a mailing address as a courtesy.
In any case. I checked my PO Box on April 11th. There was no package / flashdrive / letter / missed mail notice, etc.
– I followed up with Chad about this on April 11th, and again on April 23rd. I did not receive a response.
I checked my PO Box again on April 27th.
– There was no package / flashdrive / letter / missed mail notice, etc.
– On May 01, I notified your organization that the request was being marked as “Denied”.
It is clear to me that you did not actually mail the files as Chad indicated back on “the week prior to” April 7th. Instead, only after I’d marked the request as “Denied” by your organization on May 01, you then attempted to send me a letter at that point. Since I was not expecting a delivery to my PO Box, and do not frequently check the box unless I’m expecting something — that is likely why it was returned.
Since you have sent me photos of the letter you mailed, I will consider that as your having providing me with the records requested. However, it is unclear why it has taken 2 months to compile records that should have easily been sent via email within one day or one week.
I will now mark this request as “Completed”
Thank you.

I submitted the following public records request to your offices on March 19th:
(March 2026) Request for North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation: Related to employment records, Oath of Office, and BondHaving received no response after I followed up twice — Chad Flowers stated on April 07 that the responsive records were apparently mailed to my PO Box the week prior. There was no need to mail me physical copies to my PO Box (if that is in fact what you’ve attempted to do). An emailed response is satisfactory, and is what was requested. I simply provided a mailing address as a courtesy.
In any case — I checked my PO Box on April 11th. There was no package / flashdrive / letter / missed mail notice, etc. I followed up with Chad about this on April 11th, and again on April 23rd.
I have not received a response.
I checked my PO Box again on April 27th. It is clear that you did not actually mail me the files as Chad indicated back on April 7th.
——-I’m asking one last time that you please produce the responsive electronic records, as was requested, without further delay.
Under NC Public Records Law, your office is required to “promptly” process all public records requests. Essentially, this means that if you intentionally delay the fulfillment of a request by allowing it to “sit” until staff has availability to address it, or feels like answering my emails, then this could be considered a denial of a request. With this in mind, I want to highlight again the court case referenced in item #6 of the following article, posted on the NC Press Association website. In this instance: “The trial court held that an unjustified one-month delay in production of records was tantamount to a denial”. http://www.ncpress.com/stories/a-bakers-dozen-for-2022nc-public-records-law,2390
Having made reasonable attempts to follow up — if I don’t hear back by May 07, I will mark
this request as having been “Denied” by your organization.~ The Sunshine Request Team

Thank you for your reply.
Having received no response since submitting the request on March 19th, I would not be expecting any records to be sent to my PO Box.
Additionally. I do not regularly check that box, unless I’m expecting a delivery. I do not receive a notification whenever a package is on its way / delivered, and the USPS regularly returns packages from my PO Box that aren’t picked up within 1 day of delivery.
——–I specifically requested electronic records:
“** I’m simply requesting electronic copies of electronic records, if they exist. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, these electronic records. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copies of these records already exist). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for it’s denial is justified under NC Public Records Law.”
It’s unclear why the requested information would be provided to me via USPS, rather than email. However, I will check on that this week and report back if I have not received them.
Thank you for your help.
