Special Check Services

The Cramerton Police Department offers special check services to residents and business owners who plan on being away from their property or have special concerns about their property.  Residents are encouraged to utilize the Special Check Form (available here in PDF format) or by calling the police department (704.824.7964) to provide the information via telephone. 

Once the information is received at the police department, officers on all shifts are notified of the request so that the location can be closely observed during the requested period.  This service does not provide a “crime free” guarantee but does allow the officers to be extra aware around the property.   

Residents should consider requesting the service when planning to be on vacation or away from home for two or more nights, or when having specific problems regarding their property (frequent trespassers, domestic concerns, etc.).  Business owners should consider utilizing the service when they are planning to be closed for longer than usual periods of time or when they have concerns of criminal activity on or around their property.  

If you have questions about the special check service contact the police department at 704.824.7964.  Completed forms may be scanned and Emailed to administration@cramertonpd.org, faxed to 704.824.0134, mailed to Cramerton Police Department – Attn: Chief of Police – 155 North Main Street, Cramerton, NC 28032, or the form may be dropped off at the front desk at Cramerton Town Hall.

False Alarm Reduction Program

Cramerton Board of Commissioners passed a Burglar Alarm Ordinance at their August 7th regular meeting. The Ordinance will become effective at midnight on November 1, 2007. The Cramerton Police Department will administrate the Ordinance through its newly formed Code Enforcement Unit. The Ordinance was passed in response to a rise in the number of false burglar alarm calls that are being responded to by the police department. “False alarms place an undue burden on police resources and affects the department’s responses to more serious calls,” said Cramerton Police Chief Greg Ratchford.

The Ordinance includes provisions for registration of current and future residential and business burglar alarm systems, graduated fine structures for excessive false alarms, new equipment standards, and suspension of police response to chronic false alarms. Residents and business owners will have until November 1st to register their alarm at no cost. Alarm systems registered after November 1st will be subject to a $25.00 fee. Officers responding to alarm calls after November 1st will be issuing citations to alarm system owners who have not registered their alarm. Failing to register an alarm system will result in a $50.00 penalty being assessed.

The complete Town of Cramerton Burglar Alarm Ordinance is available by clicking here or a paper copy may be obtained at Cramerton Town Hall.   The Registration Form can be obtained by clicking here. For additional information or questions please contact the Cramerton Police Code Enforcement Officer.
