Administration Police administration is primarily focused on the performance of management duties and practices within the police department; and the implementation of policies and programs related to crime, disorder and public safety. As we continue to police in a free society, it is important that we continue to be aware of our social, legal and political frameworks in which we operate. In the pursuit of efficiency and effectiveness, we must abide by a variety of legal and ethical constraints and remain accountable for our actions and decisions. The purpose of police administration is to guide and support all police personnel in the performance of their operational duties. The command staff of the police department is comprised of a chief of police, a captain and a lieutenant. The chief of police is the executive officer for the agency. The captain answers directly to the chief of police and is responsible for all support, field and administrative operations. The lieutenant is responsible for all field operations overseeing the patrol division, which is the largest and most visible division within the organization. There are other members within the administrative section to include two administrative sergeants and a records clerk. These members are instrumental in providing support and logistical functions that are vital to the operations of the police department.

Community Policing/Code
Enforcement Community policing activities are the main emphasis for the patrol division in order to be responsive to the needs of the community. Email our Community policing team. cops@pinevillencpolice.com. The Community Oriented Policing Services Team, generally referred by the acronym "COPS", has been provided with some specialized equipment to provide special services to their citizens. Team members spend most of their time on bikes, SUV or on an ATV establishing one on one relationships with Pineville citizens. The COPS team is highly involved in special events that take place every month. The COPS are also responsible for enforcement of code violations, as it has been well documented that junk cars, abandon buildings and warehouses are catalysts for criminal activity.
