Public Safety

The Town of Clayton is committed to the highest level of Public Safety readiness and response. Our Public Safety operations include the Clayton Fire Department (fire prevention, suppression, special operations, and public education) and the Clayton Police Department (Patrol, Investigations, Animal Control, and Code Enforcement), and in addition, the Town works in close cooperation with Clayton EMS (a independent, non-profit organization) and Johnston County Communications (Enhanced 911 service.)
