Currituck County Sheriff's Office

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

The sheriff identifies itself as Currituck County's primary law-enforcement agency. Its three separated service areas are divided by a state or county line, making the county's mainland, island and coastal geography a material operational consideration.

How the agency is organized

The office describes patrol, felony and misdemeanor investigation, school safety, drug enforcement, traffic enforcement and detention responsibilities. The county communications center supports emergency and non-emergency response around the clock. The public division page supplies the Barco office address rather than assuming that headquarters is in the community called Currituck.

Official records and officer resources

The county sheriff and division pages provide current service and administrative information. Use communications for a response request and the published office contact for routine administrative matters; the directory does not treat an online contact as an emergency reporting channel.
