Sheriff’s Office Struggles with Growing Demand | Wilmington News
Description
Brunswick County’s Sheriff’s Office is stretched thin—patrolling seven towns without their own police, plus a booming population that’s set to spike calls by 10,000 annually. With open roles from deputies to dispatchers and officers often sidelined for leave, the department’s struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, towns like Carolina Shores and Navassa are stepping in with traffic tech or sheriff-backed patrols, while Sheriff Chism urges residents to push for local solutions—and hopes growing communities will soon fund their own police forces.
