Ocean Isle Beach Police Department

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

Ocean Isle Beach Police serves the town’s residents, businesses, and visitors. The municipality describes a full-service police department and provides a separate FAQ and contact resource.

How the agency is organized

The department’s public materials emphasize community policing and include Operation Identification, golf-cart information, fraud-prevention advice, and a Tip411 route. These programs provide ways to learn about local rules and communicate non-emergency information; they are not substitutes for emergency dispatch.

Official records and officer resources

The published department contact is 910-579-4221. The official FAQ page should be checked for current report and service instructions. The police-specific contact block identifies the department’s public office at Town Hall, 111 Causeway Drive. Seasonal visitor demand does not itself establish a seasonal sworn staffing count.
