Dear Citizens,
Every year brings a renewed commitment by our department to protect the lives and property of all citizens. Our number one priority continues to be the reduction of crime in the Town of Kenansville.
We ask that the citizens of Kenansville stay vigilant and involved in our efforts to protect their wellbeing. Many crimes of opportunity can be prevented by an involved and vigilant public. Theft of property continues to be an increased crime in and around Kenansville. These thefts can be drastically reduced if citizens would use crime prevention techniques, use alarm systems, and remove valuables from plain view. Vehicles that are left unlocked are an open invitation to opportunist criminals. It only takes a few seconds for someone to break a car window and remove any visible items.
Another important tip to remember is to remove items from the center console and glove compartment of your vehicle that may contain personal information or of significant value. That’s the first-place people look not only for valuables, but to access your home and steal your identity. If you see any suspicious activity around your area, please call the Kenansville Police Department at 910-296-0124. If it is an emergency please dial 911.We appreciate any help you can provide to prevent crime.
