Burgaw Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Burgaw Police is the municipal department for the Town of Burgaw, Pender County’s seat. It is distinct from the Pender County Sheriff’s Office, even though both have offices in Burgaw. The town publishes the police address at 109 N. Walker Street and a police administrative number of 910-259-4924. The general town-hall number shown elsewhere on the same website serves a different purpose.

How the agency is organized

The department’s published structure includes a chief, an assistant chief or captain, and administrative support. Patrol has supervisory ranks and patrol officers, including a canine assignment. Support services includes detectives and school resource officers. These descriptions identify functions and supervisory roles; the website’s undated personnel list should not be treated as a verified current staffing census.

Official records and officer resources

The town’s police page links recruitment, police programs, a crash-report search, business contact-information submissions, and golf-cart registration. It also offers a tip-line contact and public safety resources, including child-restraint information and the state offender registry. The police-program and town-service pages help identify the correct process for a nonemergency request. For an employment or internal-process inquiry, use the current town and police materials rather than an old third-party directory. Dial 911 for emergencies.
