Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Lincolnton Police serves the city within Lincoln County. Its current official station address is 701 East Main Street, which should take precedence over older directory locations.
How the agency is organized
The city describes patrol, criminal investigations, traffic and crash investigation, crime prevention, records and public information. These functions are organized within the municipal department rather than the county sheriff or ABC board.
Official records and officer resources
The official police page provides crash-report access, speed-sign request information and application resources. Use the relevant form for the specific service needed. Employment and policy requests should identify the city department; a sheriff or ABC officer’s records are held through a different agency.
