1. Who should I call for something that needs police attention?

Calling 911 will get information to an officer in the quickest manner. If the matter is not an emergency, you may call the Union County Sheriff’s Office at 704-283-3789. You may ask that the officer simply call you if you can not meet with one. While some matters will require meeting with an officer, simple matters that can be handled over the telephone can help conserve time and fuel.

2. Is the Sheriff’s Office in Indian Trail staffed with a deputy at all times?

No. Patrol Deputies use the Union County Sheriff's Office Indian Trail Division Building, located at:

130 Blythe Drive (The former Indian Trail Town Hall)

Indian Trail, NC 28079

Deputies do reports and other office duties at this location, but currently there is not an officer assigned to work at the location at all hours. If you need an officer to meet you at the Town Hall, you may call 704-283-3789 to request someone.

3. I have seen the roadside radar trailer used to help deter speeders. How do I go about requesting the trailer for a specific location?

You can contact Lt. Malcolm Murray by calling our main office at 704-283-3789 or email him at Malcolm@unioncountync.gov to request the radar trailer or request targeted traffic enforcement. If you email, please provide details such as road name, nearest cross street or block range, and the day of week / times of day that you observe repeat violations. Not all areas are suitable for the radar trailer's application, but it is an effective tool to deter speeding in some locations.

4. Can I contact the Sheriff’s Office to request an extra patrol of my home or business while I am out of town?

Yes. When you call, provide details such as cars left on the premises, authorized persons, contact numbers, duration of request, etc.

5. Who should I contact about attending a community meeting to present information from Sheriff's Office activities in Indian Trail?

Contact Deputy Sandy Shaw by email at sandyshaw@co.union.nc.us.
