Our goal is to provide the best possible service and protection to the citizens of our community, making Rockwell a safe place to live and work. Achieving this goal requires that we preserve and maintain the peace and order of the community through management of conflict and enforcement of the local, state, and federal laws. Some of our responsibilities are investigation of crimes, apprehension of offenders, facilitating traffic flow, assisting our citizens in times of hazardous or emergency situations, and the charging persons with violations of the law. Most often, we are called during troubled times when the citizen has no one else to call upon, and we provide assistance as a public servant to our community.
Rockwell has a mutual aid agreement with the Rowan County Sheriff's Office and the other surrounding municipal police departments in both Rowan County and the Centralina Council of Governments region. Officers working for Rockwell provide traffic enforcement, crash investigation, criminal investigations, and general police activities during the course of their shift. Sheriff's deputies provide backup coverage during times when a Rockwell officer may be unavailable working another incident.
A new police facility was completed in 2021 and is on S. Cherry St. The building's design and construction was conceptualized and overseen by Chief of Police Hugh W. Bost, Jr. (retired), and accommodates every need of a modern day police department. It serves as a model for design and layout of a floor plan which eliminates work-flow barriers allowing officers of the Town as well as visiting agencies to be more efficient with their duties, which in turn provides an elevated level of service to the community.
