Strategic Special Police Corp. is a vital part of the North Carolina Criminal Justice System. North Carolina Special Police Officers have full arrest powers on any property they are hired to protect within the state. Company police help enforce laws on private and public
school property, at public hospitals, at shopping centers, apartment complexes and office buildings, and even on golf courses and recreational lakes. These agencies and their officers may by law provide the same police services within their territorial jurisdiction as do municipal law enforcement officers in North Carolina and can do the same for you.
Under Chapter 74E of the North Carolina General Statutes, the Attorney General is given the authority to certify an agency as a company police agency and to commission an individual as a company police officer. For campus police officers, the applicable general statute is found in Chapter 74G.
A public or private educational institution or hospital, a state institution, or a corporation engaged in providing on-site police security personnel services may apply to be certified as a campus or company police agency. A campus or company police agency may also apply to commission an individual designated by that agency to act as a campus or company police officer.
