High Point Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

High Point Police is the city’s municipal law-enforcement agency. It is separate from High Point University Police and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. The Westchester Drive department address is the appropriate published headquarters reference, rather than a university location or county courthouse.

How the agency is organized

The department describes evidence-based decision-making and community engagement as guiding its work. Its website publishes an organizational chart, departmental contacts and a Community Division with youth, educational and neighborhood functions. Those published materials provide more useful organizational context than assuming every employee performs the same patrol assignment.

Official records and officer resources

Public tools include incident reports, an online reporting option, a community crime map and Crime Stoppers links. Recruiting information is presented through the city’s official “Join Our Team” route. The 2025 annual report is a dated resource for understanding department activity; figures from it should retain the report year and should not be presented as live staffing.

Blank or unavailable values remain “Not published.” Participating agencies and reporting scope vary. Campus figures concern the reporting institution; a city name does not expand them to all local residents. Read the data definitions and limitations.
