The Narcotics Division also consists of detectives from the Nags Head Police Department and Kill Devil Hills Police Department. These municipal officers are sworn in and housed by the Dare County Sheriff. 

The primary function of the Narcotics Division is to investigate cases involving narcotics activities, as well as the sale, possession and use of narcotics throughout Dare County.

The deputies and officers working within the Narcotics Division are highly trained and extremely motivated professionals who are experienced in conducting specialized narcotics investigations. These investigations lead to the arrest and conviction of individuals and groups in state and federal courts. These deputies and officers must be current with the recognition and detection of all illicit drugs as well as distribution methods in order to maintain the high level of service that members of the Dare County community deserve.

As a tourism-driven vacation community, Dare County is certainly a unique place; however, when it comes to the drug trade, the county unfortunately faces many of the same issues involving the sale, possession and use of illegal substances as large cities throughout both North Carolina as well as the rest of the United States.
