Glen Alpine Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Glen Alpine’s official town contact directory identifies its police department and police-chief contact. This supports an active municipal entry distinct from the Burke County Sheriff and neighboring Morganton and Drexel departments.

How the agency is organized

The reviewed town material is a contact directory rather than a detailed operational report. It does not establish a current staffing total, specialized units, or a department founding date. Those details are therefore left open instead of inferred from the town’s size or history.

Official records and officer resources

The town publishes 828-584-2622 as the police contact. Use the municipal website for current administrative routing and public notices. A police headquarters street address was not independently verified. Addresses associated with elected officials in a town directory are not treated as police facilities or included as station locations.
