Our Downtown Ambassadors are dedicated to creating a welcoming, safe, and enjoyable experience for everyone who visits, lives, and works in Edenton's beautiful historic downtown. As friendly, approachable representatives of both the Town of Edenton and the Edenton Police Department, they serve as extra eyes and ears throughout the downtown district while providing exceptional customer service to residents and visitors alike.
You'll often see two ambassadors on patrol during the afternoon and evening hours, walking the sidewalks, greeting guests, checking in with local businesses, assisting those in need, and helping ensure everyone can safely enjoy our downtown, waterfront, parks, and social district. Whether you're looking for directions, recommendations on local attractions, or simply have a question, our ambassadors are always happy to help.
In addition to supporting the downtown area, several of our ambassadors also serve as park and harbor attendants, helping maintain the welcoming atmosphere that makes Edenton such a special place to visit.
Our Downtown Ambassadors maintain direct communication with the Edenton Police Department at all times, allowing officers to remain readily available throughout the rest of the community while ensuring a visible, helpful presence in our historic district. This partnership enhances public safety and allows our police officers to provide comprehensive coverage across all of Edenton's neighborhoods.
You'll recognize our ambassadors by their bright, high-visibility safety vests or official Downtown Ambassador shirts. If you see one during your visit, don't hesitate to stop and say hello—they're here to help, answer questions, and make your experience in Edenton a memorable one!
A friendly face. A helping hand. A safer downtown for everyone.
