Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Woodfin Police serves the Town of Woodfin in Buncombe County. The town’s official police forms identify the agency at 90 Elk Mountain Road and provide a dedicated police telephone.
How the agency is organized
The town’s 2025 alarm-permit registration form and its police ride-along waiver are primary administrative records identifying the department. They establish local police functions involving alarm registration and supervised public participation, but do not support an inferred specialized-unit roster or current staffing total.
Official records and officer resources
The published police number is 828-253-4889. The official municipal website and current forms should be used for program requirements and department routing. A ride-along waiver is not a guarantee of eligibility or scheduling; follow the current department’s instructions. Records and personnel matters should be directed to the town police organization rather than the county sheriff merely because both serve the wider Asheville area.
