Currituck County Law Enforcement

The sheriff's office is the primary law enforcement agency in Currituck County. Deputies patrol both the mainland and the Outer Banks. There are no incorporated cities in the county with their own police forces, so the sheriff handles all patrol duties. The North Carolina Highway Patrol and wildlife officers also make arrests in the area. All of these can result in bookings at the Currituck County jail.

The county's geography creates unique challenges for law enforcement. The mainland and the Outer Banks are not connected by a bridge within the county. Deputies on the beach side must travel through other counties to reach the mainland, or vice versa. Despite this, the Currituck County jail roster captures arrests from both sides of the county. The North Carolina Sheriffs' Association supports all county sheriff offices with resources and coordination. A new mid-county bridge has been planned to improve access between the mainland and the Outer Banks, which would help the sheriff's office respond faster and process bookings more efficiently.
