Who We Are

NON-EMERGENCY: 919-469-4012 

EMERGENCY: 911 

The Morrisville Police Department is committed to maintaining safe and secure neighborhoods through the delivery of professional law enforcement services in partnership with our citizens.  

Our core values of courage, integrity, and professionalism serve as our foundation for providing the highest standard in police services, while recognizing the need to always treat everyone in our community with respect and dignity. 

The Morrisville Police Department was awarded national accreditation on November 11, 2023, by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) in the Advanced Law Enforcement program(s). In 2021, the Morrisville Police Department began a transitional process to Advanced Accreditation which required successful compliance to 461 standards.

Known as the gold-standard in public safety, CALEA accreditation focuses on community-oriented policing. To achieve these high standards, police departments must follow a code of conduct recognized by law enforcement peers, the legal system, and the public while meeting stringent professional requirements and practices.
