Yadkin County at a glance
Yadkin County’s verified local network includes the sheriff and police departments in Boonville, East Bend, Jonesville and Yadkinville. Surry Community College Police also serves the college’s Yadkin educational location. Yadkinville is the county seat, but the sheriff and town police have separate offices and records responsibilities.
State Library resources place Yadkin in the northwestern Piedmont foothills of the Blue Ridge. East Bend’s official police page locates the town along Highway 67 between Winston-Salem and Boonville, and Jonesville’s police station is on that highway corridor. The neighboring Elkin–Jonesville area crosses county boundaries and includes separate municipal agencies. A regional place name should not replace the actual investigating department.
Law enforcement in Yadkin County
The sheriff’s current county page identifies headquarters at 201 East Cherry Street and publishes 336-849-7810, rather than the older telephone in an association listing. Yadkinville Police is separately located on East Hemlock Street. East Bend Police operates from its town hall and relies on county communications for prompt officer contact; the direct office line is not monitored continuously. Jonesville distinguishes continuous officer duty from weekday office hours. Boonville’s police address differs from the general town-hall address, and the college agency retains a single crosscounty profile.
County history and community context
Yadkin County was formed in 1850 from Surry County and named for the Yadkin River. State Library history records that Yadkinville was chartered in 1857 and describes eighteenth-century Quaker migration among the area’s settlement influences. The county and town dates provide local context but are not used to infer police-department founding years or uninterrupted staffing histories.
Courts, public records and official resources
The towns publish useful public-service routes: Boonville and East Bend offer residence checks, Jonesville links electronic crash reports and parade-permit procedures, and Yadkinville provides careers and reporting FAQs. Sheriff records, municipal reports, campus annual security information and court filings belong to different custodians. Surry Community College’s campus-police authority does not imply ordinary countywide patrol. The courthouse on South State Street is a separate Judicial Branch location, and its current access and schedule should be checked before a visit.
The North Carolina Judicial Branch’s Yadkin County page links local court contacts, calendars, jury information and court-location guidance. The courthouse location is 101 S State St Yadkinville, NC 27055. The published main telephone is (336) 679-3600. Check the Judicial Branch page for the correct building and current schedule before traveling; a police station, detention center and clerk’s office are different service destinations.

Published crime and personnel data
The NC SBI’s county table reports selected Index offenses from contributing agencies in 2024. It is separate from the FBI’s 2025 reporting year and is not a count of all possible offenses.

| Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter | 1 |
| Rape | 12 |
| Robbery | 1 |
| Aggravated assault | 36 |
| Burglary | 134 |

Published county-table Index total: 484. SBI Index offenses by agency in county.
| Published agency label | Index total | Murder | Rape | Robbery | Aggravated assault | Burglary | Larceny | Vehicle theft |

A county total depends on the reporting agencies and source-table coverage. Missing agencies or blank values must not be treated as zero. Published totals are not a safety ranking and do not establish an agency’s performance.
| Agency | Reported violent crime | Reported property crime | Full-time sworn · Oct. 31 | Full-time civilian · Oct. 31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boonville Police Department | 1 | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| East Bend Police Department | Not published | Not published | 3 | 0 |
| Jonesville Police Department | 7 | 73 | 10 | 1 |
| Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office | 39 | 176 | 48 | 26 |
| Yadkinville Police Department | 7 | 48 | 14 | 1 |
These are individual agency rows, not whole-county totals. Cross-county departments may serve territory beyond Yadkin County. Each linked profile identifies its FBI source table and reporting label. Do not sum these rows to compare with the SBI’s different year and coverage.
