In the fall of 1973, Police Chiefs representing 16 North Carolina colleges and universities met to form an organization to promote the professionalism of campus policing and to address policing concerns common to each campus community.  That organization is the North Carolina Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators. 

       The organization is closely related to the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, and current membership includes over 30 colleges and universities across North Carolina.  Combined, the NCACLEA campus police departments serve a community of more than a quarter million students, faculty, and staff, with over 500 sworn police officers, nearly 70 sworn auxiliary officers, 269 security guards, and over 300 support personnel.  The organization represents a specialty field of policing directed to meeting the law enforcement, security, and public safety needs of the diverse and ever changing campus community.
