Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Smithfield Police serves the town that is Johnston County’s seat. The municipal department on South Fifth Street is separate from the county sheriff’s US 70 Business location and from the courthouse.
How the agency is organized
The official police location page describes weekday administrative access and explains that after-hours telephone contact connects with county communications. This arrangement maintains access to response while distinguishing administrative office hours from police service.
Official records and officer resources
Use the town police number for the published contact route and verify current office instructions before visiting. Incident-report and employment questions should name Smithfield Police. Sheriff records, dispatch recordings and court filings are different records even when connected to one case.
