Jurisdiction and responsibilities
This is the institution's sworn campus law-enforcement organization in Cleveland County. Campus police and municipal or county police are distinct agencies; institutional rules, criminal reporting and emergency response may involve different procedures.
How the agency is organized
The university expressly describes its officers as sworn police officers commissioned under North Carolina law. Its public-safety material describes campus crime prevention, response and coordination. University police therefore belongs in the sworn-agency directory rather than being classified as a security-only office.
Official records and officer resources
The university police and Clery-report pages explain reporting resources and the institution's published safety information. The LiveSafe tool is an additional campus communication route; it does not replace 911 for emergencies.
