The Chapel Hill Police Department provides law enforcement services within the municipal limit of the Town of Chapel Hill. This typically excludes the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill main campus and its properties. If you need immediate assistance, calling 911 from within the area will ensure that the appropriate agency responds. You may also call 919-732-5063 to reach the non-emergency number for our communications center. The Chapel Hill Police Department's Crisis Unit is a 24-hour co-response team that provides onsite emergency response with officers to persons in crisis situations. The Crisis Unit was established in 1973 as one of the earliest examples of law enforcement and human services professionals working together.
