Erwin Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Erwin Police provides municipal police service within the town. Its office on West F Street and its published non-emergency number give a direct route to department administration, separate from the county sheriff.

How the agency is organized

The town describes patrol and criminal-investigation divisions, school-resource and canine assignments, and a records/evidence position. This mix shows that patrol response, investigations and records administration are distinct functions. The published office hours are weekday business hours; office opening times should not be equated with the hours of police response.

Official records and officer resources

Public services include a house/security-check request and department contacts. A request for an incident report or evidence-related information should be directed to the appropriate records contact. Employees and applicants should use current town recruiting and administrative information rather than assuming the school-resource or canine assignments are separate employers.
