There are times when a Pine Knoll
Shores resident requires our assistance for
a transport in a non-emergency situation.
We are most willing to help but we ask
that we be contacted directly rather than
through the emergency 9-1-1 phone
number. If you are unable to contact us at
our home (Chief's number is: 808-3374,
and Assistant Chiefs number is: 247-
5540), you may be put in touch with us by
calling the Town Hall.
Squad #65 responded to 7 Medical
Emergencies, 1 Transport, and 1 Fire call
in November.
T[
from the
PKS Police
Dept...
"he Pine Knoll Shores Police
Department wishes all of you a
safe and happy holiday season. Please
remember to stop by the Town Hall and fill
out an "Out of Town Request" form and
the PKS Police Department will check your
house.
Your Police Department is continuing
to participate in North Carolina's "Click it or
Ticket" and "Booze it and Lose it"
campaigns. While North Carolina has one
of the highest seat belt use rates in the
nation, we cannot ignore the daily news
reports about unbuckled drivers and
passengers who were killed or seriously
injured in car crashes. Perhaps you or
someone you know has suffered such a
loss. We need to put a stop to such
tragedies by increasing seat belt and child
seat use, and we need to start right here
in Pine Knoll Shores.
That's why I ask that you join me in
supporting our "Click it or Ticket" and
"Booze it and Lose it" campaigns. It is
important that we stand together in
support of these campaigns, and for the
officers whose dedication and diligence
have made it a national model for highway
safety. These checkpoints have helped to
save lives and prevent injuries. The
checkpoints in Pine Knoll Shores have
resulted in taking intoxicated drivers off
the road, located dangerous felons and
fugitives and confiscated illicit drugs.
The importance of these campaigns
cannot be overstated. We're serious about
seat belts, child seats and intoxicated
drivers in our town. Especially with the
holidays and increased travel, it is
important that all motorists buckle up and
have a designated driver. It's the most
effective way to save lives and reduce
injuries on our roadways.
