Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Pine Knoll Shores Police is identified on the town’s emergency-services page, alongside separately described fire and emergency-medical functions. The municipal police department is not counted as a duplicate of those other services.
How the agency is organized
The official page lists captain, lieutenant, sergeant, and officer roles. It supplies separate police and emergency-communications contacts, allowing ordinary administrative questions to be distinguished from calls requiring dispatch.
Official records and officer resources
The police number is 252-247-2474, while the published emergency-communications contact is 252-726-1911. Emergencies should go to 911. The town’s published re-entry-pass instructions identify the police front-door depository at Public Safety, 314 Salter Path Road, separately from the town office at Municipal Circle. The Carteret Sheriff’s other-agencies page provides a second official identification of the department.
