Robeson County Sheriff's Office

Jurisdiction and responsibilities

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office provides county law-enforcement services from Lumberton. It works alongside separate municipal departments throughout the county and UNC Pembroke’s campus police. Robeson Community College identifies the sheriff as the primary local agency for its COMtech and EMT facilities outside Lumberton’s municipal jurisdiction.

How the agency is organized

The sheriff publishes patrol, criminal investigations, juvenile investigations and school-resource functions, records administration, courthouse security, aviation and river patrol. Its patrol description identifies four squads providing continuous service. Animal Protective Services transferred to the sheriff’s organization following county action in May 2023. These divisions remain components of one employer and should not be added to a directory count as separate police agencies.

Official records and officer resources

The official records page identifies the records office at 910-671-3100. The careers page provides application documents and a recruiting-office contact. Public resources include a citizens’ academy, notifications, community programs and complaint/commendation routes. For a specific report, identify the handling agency and date; a county communications record and a deputy’s incident report may have different custodians.
