Lumberton Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Lumberton Police serves the City of Lumberton, Robeson County’s seat. Its headquarters is in the Ed Glover Public Safety Building. Robeson Community College states that Lumberton Police has primary law-enforcement jurisdiction over college property within the city and supplies sworn off-duty officers for campus security. The college arrangement is represented under Lumberton Police, not as another independently established department.

How the agency is organized

The city lists Administration, Professional Standards and Internal Affairs, Investigative and Juvenile, Patrol, and Training divisions. Its directory also identifies police records, victim assistance and community services. Lumberton’s communications division dispatches police, fire, rescue and EMS calls; sharing communications does not merge those services or their personnel systems.

Official records and officer resources

The city police directory supplies records and division contacts, while the municipal website provides employment and public-information resources. Campus-related requests should distinguish the college’s security or Clery records from investigative records created by Lumberton officers. Published full-time employee statistics are dated snapshots, not a guarantee that the department’s undated website staffing description reflects current vacancies.
