Albemarle Police Department

Emergency Services Day was a hit at the Pavilion at YMCA Park! 🚓🚒🚑
Stanly County Family YMCA campers had a chance to climb through emergency vehicles, explore equipment, and ask great questions during guided tours.

APD also led an engaging safety talk, and the campers’ excitement and enthusiasm made the entire day unforgettable.

Thank you to the YMCA for inviting us and allowing us to share this experience with such an energetic group of young learners. We’re grateful for every opportunity to connect with our community.

The Albemarle Police Department is partnering with NC SAFE to support firearm safety. APD will hand out free gun locks on Wednesday, June 3, at Walmart on Leonard Avenue from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. and 4 p.m.–7 p.m.

If you are unable to make it out to Walmart for this event, you can stop by APD Headquarters to grab your free gun lock there!

Fi****ms are now the leading cause of injury‑related death for children and teens in North Carolina. In a recent episode of All About Albemarle, APD’s Community Resource Coordinator, Chrissy Legassie, talks about the importance of securing fi****ms so they don’t fall into the wrong hands.
