Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Sunset Beach Police serves the Town of Sunset Beach. The official town page describes continuous patrol, supported by full-time and part-time personnel during busy periods, without supplying a dated headcount that is treated here as current.
How the agency is organized
The department describes uniformed and plainclothes work, investigations, animal and code responsibilities, and officers with nuisance-alligator training. Community services include house checks and bicycle registration. These town-specific functions are distinct from the county sheriff’s separate responsibilities.
Official records and officer resources
The current town source lists 700 Sunset Boulevard North and 910-579-6297. This municipal number takes precedence over an older sheriff-directory number. The town directs calls requiring an officer or a report through 911, and visitors should follow its current dispatch instructions. Program eligibility and administrative procedures should be checked on the official police page before relying on a service.
