China Grove Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

China Grove Police serves the Town of China Grove in Rowan County, including residential and commercial areas and the major road corridors within its service area. It is separate from neighboring Landis and Kannapolis departments. The police-specific location is 205 Swink Street; the North Main Street address in the website footer belongs to town government.

How the agency is organized

The current police overview identifies a chief and captain, with sworn officers providing continuous station coverage. The current department directory includes patrol supervisors, a detective and school-resource positions at Jesse Carson High School and China Grove Middle School. An organizational-chart link and a community-programs section are available from the department page.

Official records and officer resources

The current official directory routes department contacts through 704-857-2466 and lists individual extensions for command staff. Older reports show a different main police number, so this profile follows the current department directory. Community services include House Watch for residents away from home, a business trespass-agreement program, safety presentations and participation in the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center’s daily telephone-check program. The town also publishes a public-records request link through the clerk’s section and employment information through administration.
