Jurisdiction and responsibilities
The airport describes a full-time police department serving Albert J. Ellis Airport in Onslow County. Airport police are separate from the sheriff, Richlands town police and federal Transportation Security Administration screeners. The airport mission does not imply general municipal jurisdiction throughout Richlands.
How the agency is organized
The current county airport directory identifies a police chief and lieutenant. The airport security page confirms the police department, while county recruitment descriptions document airport patrol, public protection, investigations and coordination with transportation-security functions. Closed job postings are used for historical role descriptions, not as current vacancies.
Official records and officer resources
The airport security page supplies a police contact through extension 6 of the airport telephone. The county directory provides separate police leadership contacts. Applicants should use current Onslow County vacancies and hiring requirements rather than salary or closing-date information from older job bulletins.
