PKS Police
Dept...
The following
information indicates the number and
type of calls the Pine Knoll Shores
Police Department had for the year
1998. This indicates ONLY calls in
which some type of paperwork is
generated and does not show all
police calls of a general service
nature.
The Pine Knoll Shores Police
Department is looking at starting a
nationwide program "Watch Your Car".
Morehead City is currently involved in this
program and it appears to be very
successful. By signing an agreement with
the Pine Knoll Shores Police Department
and displaying a decal on your vehicle,
motorists give law enforcement officers
permission to stop their vehicles between
1 and 5 a.m. without probable cause.
If officers discover that the vehicle's
owner is not the driver, the police
department will call the owner and ask if
he or she knows where the car is. If the
owner doesn't, and the car is stolen, police
will have found it before it was even
reported stolen.
Soon residents of PKS will be
contacted to ascertain if they would like to
participate in this program. Also, if at any
time a resident has any needs or questions
that the police department could provide
assistance please contact us.
The Pine Knoll Shores Police
Department will begin a new service for
our citizens in March. In addition to
offering the check on your residence when
you are out of town, we will check on
"you" when you are at home. If you are
alone at home or possibly recovering from
surgery or an illness if you notify the PKS
PD an officer will check in on you at home.
This service is part of the Pine Knoll
Shores Police Department's effort to
provide the best service possible for our
citizens. If you are interested please come
by the Police Department/ Town Hall and
fill out a request form. Please indicate if
the house check is for the resident or the
residence and the length of time you need
the check.
