Welcome to the Trent Woods Police Department website.

The Trent Woods Police Department was organized in September 1972, under the direction of the Craven County Sheriff's Department, and was funded by the North Carolina Governor's Commission on Law and Order at virtually no expense to the town. Law enforcement officers changed from Craven County Sheriff's Deputies to Trent Woods Policemen on September 1, 1977.

Much has changed since the department was created. With specialized training and equipment, the department now consists of seven officers who provide a wide range of police services to the community. In April 2004, the Trent Woods Community Emergency Response Team, (CERT), was formed to provide assistance during emergencies such as fires, storms, and other incidents.
