Public Safety
Better Business Bureau — Asheville, North Carolina If you are having a problem, you need to report it, and try to prevent someone else from having the same experience.
The Carolinas Poison Center is designated as the official state poison center for North Carolina. We are a not-for-profit telephone resource center of poisoning information, staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by registered nurses who are uniquely trained to provide diagnostic and treatment advice for acute and chronic poisonings to the public and healthcare providers.
Asheville Police Department personnel are very visible and accessible to the community. Their method of patrolling the city takes many forms; you’ll see them walking and driving as well as on horseback and bicycle.
