Our Mission
The mission of the Emerald Isle Neighborhood

awareness and sensitivity to questionable activity
while in Emerald Isle. People who are alert to
various security issues enhance the safety of all

If you see something, Say something!
Never approach or otherwise confront people engaged in suspicious activity.
Keep your residence and vehicles locked at all times even when just going to the beach.
Do not leave valuables in view either in your vehicle or around your home.
Secure your bicycle with a lock while shopping or at home.
Create an inventory of valuables favored by burglars to include make, model, serial
numbers, descriptions, photos, etc.
Install a security alarm system or camera system in your home to protect your valuables.
Install wide-angle peepholes for outside doors at heights everyone can use to prevent
opening doors to strangers.
Install motion detection lights to enhance outdoor security.
Use timers to turn on outside and inside lights automatically at various times throughout
the night.
Be Observant and Report: Call 911 to report anything that you think is suspicious or
unusual.

“Getting To Know The Men & Women Behind The Badge…”
Officer Samuel Scott Serving Since: 2007 Age: 38
What made you choose Law Enforcement? Law Enforcement was a way to help people. Sometimes I will never know how I helped others because I simply changed their direction of thinking. Other times the change is immediate. I have learned to make connections with persons as opposed to simply enforce the law.
What do you love about working in Emerald Isle?
I enjoy Emerald Isle for its diverse tourist traffic. We get to meet and deal with all persons from every state in the country. I know that can sometimes seem overwhelming, but many of these persons just want to have a great time on the beach and a memorable vacation.
Describe a favorite case/experience you have had in Law Enforcement… I enjoy any time I get to interact in a positive way with children. High fives, letting them see the lights or honk the horn, anytime I can convince a child that police are not out to "arrest them for not eating their chicken nuggets" and I get to see that sparkle of excitement in their eyes; that's what makes my day. I also enjoy when I am able to convince the average adult that whereas I have a job to do, I am not only here to arrest them. Seeing that same spark in their eye when they realize that we really do want better for everyone…that is what makes a difference.
What did you do prior to being an Officer? Much of my experience was in auto mechanics and part sales. I spent 5 years working for Oreilly's Auto Parts. From 1999-2019 I was an Engineer in the US Army/Missouri National Guard.
What is the most memorable case you have worked (or assisted)? A few cases come to mind. Once I lifted a car off a person by making a lever with a few items lying around. Twice I have helped someone who had stopped breathing due to a suicide attempt, and later got the chance to be friends with them and watch them grow stronger. Watching people grow toward a better future is a notable reward.
Why do you stay in such a challenging profession? This career is a challenge. It is often difficult to tell exactly what someone expects out of you. However, the challenge is what makes every day different. Sitting behind a desk or doing the same task day in and out is great work for some, but I cannot see myself there at this point in my life. I enjoy speaking to people on a real level. Helping people to achieve higher goals and expectations, to better understand my involvement in their life, and to hopefully teach people growing up to take the torch when I no longer can do this. We are all walking toward the future, we had best be preparing those around us to take over for us or we will miss the mark.
“Getting to know the Men and Women behind the badge…”
Lieutenant Mark Odom Serving Since: 2006 Age: 46 What made you choose Law Enforcement? Law Enforcement is something I have always wanted to do. When you go out each day and feel like you have made a difference, what is more rewarding than that?
What do you love about working in Emerald Isle? Growing up here makes it kind of cool. I have seen many changes over the years. Emerald Isle is
a great place to work, the town staff and the citizens make it fun to work here.
Describe a favorite case/experience you have had in Law Enforcement… I don’t really have a favorite case but I had many great experiences in my career so far. I have learned and grown from all of my experiences in law enforcement.
What did you do prior to being an Officer? I worked as a fabricator at SPX Air Treatment in Newport for approximately 13 years. I also worked a full service route for Coca Cola in Craven County just before going into law enforcement.
What is the most memorable case you have worked (or assisted)? The most memorable case so far in my career is the murder/arson case that occurred on the east end of town earlier this year. We don’t have a lot of crimes like these so knowing the people involved makes it pretty unforgettable.
Why do you stay in such a challenging profession? I feel like I make a difference in other people’s lives. A difference not only with the public but also the men and women
I work with. I strive to make Emerald Isle a better place to work and to live. This profession is hard and can be dangerous but it is also very rewarding!

Safety is a shared responsibility. Motorists need to be watchful for pedestrians and bicyclists, drive at slower speeds, avoid distraction, and know the laws regarding when pedestrians or bicyclists have the right-of-way. Be prepared to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Give a bicyclist at least four feet of space when passing, or you may completely enter the left lane if conditions are safe to do so. Never pass a vehicle that is stopped for pedestrians. Before making a turn, be sure the path is clear of any pedestrians or bicyclists. Slow down in areas where you are likely to find pedestrians, such as near bus stops, schools, and playgrounds.
Look carefully behind your vehicle for approaching pedestrians before backing-up. Keep an eye out for pedestrians at night that may be walking near or across the road. Avoid distractions such as food, passengers and using mobile devices. Talking and texting while driving is both dangerous and illegal in many places.
