When should I call 911?

Though “911” should only be used for emergency calls, the 911 Center, known as Central Communications or “CCOM” in Brunswick County, is the central dispatch center of the Leland Police Department.  CCOM is manned 24/7 and must be contacted for Leland Officers to be dispatched to a call.  If you have a non-emergency situation that requires an officer to be dispatched, please call CCOM at 253-7490.  You can call the Leland Police Department at 371-1100 for general questions specific to Leland and the Leland Police Department.

How do I get a copy of an incident report?

If you are victim of an offense in Leland where a report is taken, you may contact the Leland Police Department M-F, 8 AM – 5PM to obtain a copy of the report.  You must allow 2 -3 business days for the reports to be processed and available to be provided to you.  The Leland Police Department can only release reports to individuals directly involved in an incident and can not release reports to relatives or friends.  If you are the guardian or parent of a juvenile involved in an incident, you may obtain a copy of an incident report.

When and how do I get an accident report?

Like incident reports, accident or “collision” reports require a few days to process and be available to the individuals involved.  Please allow 2 – 3 business days for collision reports to be completed.  Eventually, collision reports will be available through the Department of Motor Vehicles after submission by the Leland Police Department.
