Recruiting the next generation of police officers is one of the most influential tasks in determining the long term fate of a police agency and the community it serves. Ultimately, the recruits of today, will become the leadership of tomorrow.

The community, understandably so, has high expectations of police officers. The Kernersville Police Department focuses on employing those who, are ready to undertake those expectations and provide a Higher Level of Service to the people of Kernersville.
