Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Grifton Police is the town’s municipal department. Grifton extends across Pitt and Lenoir counties, so the department is linked from both county guides as one organization. Local police records should be requested from the department that handled the event, even where county lines and mailing addresses differ.
How the agency is organized
The town identifies patrol and emergency response, investigations, crime prevention, traffic enforcement and community outreach as its police functions. Its current page distinguishes three contact needs: 911 for emergencies, non-emergency dispatch for matters needing an officer, and a separate departmental landline for general information, records and follow-up. That distinction is more useful than repeating an old directory number without its purpose.
Official records and officer resources
General police questions and records follow-up use 252-481-8727. The published non-emergency dispatch number is 252-524-4161. The town website also links agendas, budgets and employment opportunities. The general municipal footer address is not presented here as a confirmed police headquarters; use the official contact channels to confirm where a particular service is offered.
