Jurisdiction and responsibilities
West Jefferson Police serves the Town of West Jefferson, a separate municipality from Jefferson. The town’s official contact directory provides a dedicated police number alongside its general municipal contact information.
How the agency is organized
The Ashe County Sheriff’s local directory independently identifies West Jefferson Police as an agency. The town and sheriff directories must be read carefully because the general Town Hall number and police number are not interchangeable. Current municipal contact information takes precedence over an older generalized listing.
Official records and officer resources
The town’s current page identifies 336-246-9410 as the police number. A specific police headquarters street address was not independently established; the Town Hall address therefore is not represented as a verified police station. Current employment, department policies, or police-records questions should start with the municipal police contact.

Blank or unavailable values remain “Not published.” Participating agencies and reporting scope vary. Campus figures concern the reporting institution; a city name does not expand them to all local residents. Read the data definitions and limitations.
