Police Patrol Zones

The Lake Lure Police Department conducts an intensive security check throughout the community every day of the month, with businesses checked during the evening hours, and town roads checked throughout the day. In addition, the Lake Lure Police Department offers a year-round house check program. When you are away from your home for a significant period of time, then the officer on duty will visit your home daily and personally inspect it for overall structural integrity and security. Contact the Lake Lure Police Department at 828-625-4685 for further information concerning this helpful crime prevention program.  

 

The Lake Lure Police Department is continuously developing a philosophy and organizational strategy of community policing implementation. This will allow the police and community residents to work increasingly together in developing new ways to solve the problems of crime, feat of crime, physical and social disorder, and neighborhood decay. The philosophy rests in the belief that law-abiding people in the community deserve input into the police process. To facilitate this philosophy and organizational structure, officers will be individually assigned to one of five zones encompassing the Town of Lake Lure:

 

Zone #1 - All areas north of Lake Lure Village Resort, including all Lake Lure Golf and Beach Resort property, Fairfield Mountains Resort, and all property on Buffalo Creek Road

 

Zone #2 - Buffalo Shoals Road north to Buffalo Creek Road

 

Zone #3 - Snug Harbor Circle to Island Creek Road

 

Zone #4 - Chimney Rock Park east to Snug Harbor Circle

 

Zone #5 - Boys Camp Road and all roads adjacent, including Lake Lure Village Resort

 

Hopefully, this philosophy and organizational strategy will provide decentralized, personalized police service to the community with flexibility to meet local needs and priorities as they change over time. The officers of the Lake Lure Police Department desire your comments in making Lake Lure a safer and even more attractive place to live.

 

Your community police department encourages you to use these security-enhancing programs, and report any suspicious circumstances when observed.
