Jurisdiction and responsibilities

The department is the municipal police organization serving Swansboro, North Carolina, in Onslow County. Its town or city role is distinct from the county sheriff and from any campus or special-purpose agency operating nearby.

How the agency is organized

The town describes prevention, protection and community partnerships as core department work. Its official site provides staff, frequently asked questions and annual police reports. Personnel and reserve roles are described, but the undated overview headcount is not treated as a verified live staffing total.

Official records and officer resources

The police department publishes a weekday non-emergency front-desk contact and links to staff and annual reports. Use these official pages for records and department questions. An older address from an emergency-directory document is not substituted for a currently verified headquarters.
