Jurisdiction and responsibilities
The department is the municipal police organization serving Kenansville, North Carolina, in Duplin County. Its town or city role is distinct from the county sheriff and from any campus or special-purpose agency operating nearby.
How the agency is organized
The town maintains a separate police page describing service through trained municipal officers. Its frequently-called-numbers page lists the department independently from other public offices. The fact that Kenansville is the county seat does not merge town police with the Duplin sheriff.
Official records and officer resources
Use the town's police and frequently-called-number pages for current routing. Headquarters and division details are not inferred from a general town-government footer.
