Camden County Sheriff's Office

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

The Camden County Sheriff’s Office is the verified county police organization based on NC Highway 343 North. Its official page and departmental directory distinguish the sheriff’s administrative office from other county and court offices.

How the agency is organized

The directory identifies a sheriff, chief deputy, major, investigative and school-resource supervision, patrol and K-9 supervision, sergeants, records management, and executive assistance. Animal control is separately identified among office services. These specific published roles provide an organizational outline without treating the staff directory as a dated sworn-officer census.

Official records and officer resources

The office is at 117 NC Highway 343 North, with 252-338-5046 as its administrative telephone. The separately published dispatch number is 252-331-1500. The county also maintains an official app and social-media information page, which helps distinguish verified announcements from unofficial reposts. Records inquiries and employment questions should begin with the current county contacts appropriate to the issue.
