🤝 BIG THANK YOU TO AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION!

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the American Woodmark Corporation for their generous monetary donation to the Lincolnton Police Department.

Partnerships like this make all the difference, and thanks to their support, we were able to purchase essential new radio batteries for our officers. In law enforcement, reliable communication is vital for both officer safety and our ability to respond quickly to our community.

Thank you, American Woodmark, for investing in the safety of Lincolnton!

🤝 Help Us Keep Lincolnton Safe! 🤝

As the weather gets warmer, more of our community is out enjoying beautiful spots like the Lincolnton Rail Trail and the Splash Pad. We want to make sure these spaces stay safe, clean, and fun for every family in Lincolnton.

Keeping Lincolnton safe is a team effort. No detail is too small, and we would always rather check it out and find nothing wrong than miss something important!

While our officers routinely patrol these areas, we need your help. If you ever notice suspicious behavior, vandalism, or anything that feels out of place while you're out and about, please let us know right away!
