Explanation
§ The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) recognize the need for UNCC Campus Police to have a limited extension of its law enforcement authority beyond the territorial boundaries of the campus and those boundaries established by State law.
§ North Carolina General Statute 116-40.5(b) allows universities to enter into agreements with the governing board of a municipality to extend the law enforcement authority of campus police officers beyond the perimeter of the campus and into part of the municipal jurisdictions and to determine the circumstances in which the extension of authority may be granted.
§ UNCC Campus Police will have full law enforcement authority when on duty within the expanded jurisdiction. They will primarily patrol the main UNCC campus but will respond to specific requests from CMPD for issues arising within the extended jurisdiction to the extent those issues relate to UNCC students, faculty, or staff.
§ This agreement will go into effect at 12:00 a.m. on July 1, 2021, and will continue to be in effect for a period of five years, until 12:00 a.m. on July 1, 2026.
