Archdale Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Archdale Police is the city’s municipal department. Its published location is on Balfour Drive. The service area should be understood through the city boundary rather than treating the entire surrounding county as municipal police territory.

How the agency is organized

The city lists patrol, criminal investigations, canine, professional standards, property/evidence, records and animal-control functions. Professional standards includes fiscal oversight, internal affairs, recruitment, planning and training. Animal control is specifically described as serving the City of Archdale.

Agency history and local context

The city identifies October 2001 as the creation of its canine unit with community contributions. This unit milestone is distinct from the department’s founding.
