Government

Durham County leads by example. In 2024, the County brought the whole commitment together — a lactation policy welcoming breastfeeding in every county building where a parent has a legal right to be, additional dedicated lactation rooms, and staff training to meet the needs of lactating employees across every department. This builds on years of leadership: twelve weeks of paid parental leave for every employee since 2016 (among the first counties in North Carolina to do so), and proclamations recognizing Durham as a Breastfeeding Family Friendly Community dating to 2020. The County has also printed and shared Breastfeed Durham’s materials for years. We’re proud to celebrate Durham County and its many locations for protecting breastfeeding families and supporting lactating employees countywide.

• County Administration Complex (Administration, Register of Deeds, Tax Administration)
• Human Services Building (Public Health & Social Services)
• Durham County Justice Center — 510 S. Dillard St. (Sheriff, District Attorney, Courts)
• Board of Elections
• Cooperative Extension
• Veterans Services
• Emergency Medical Services / Emergency Services stations
• Engineering & Environmental Services / Solid Waste
• Durham County Memorial Stadium
• Durham County Library — all seven branches (listed under Bookstores above)
