Jurisdiction and responsibilities
The North Carolina Arboretum’s official staff directory identifies a campus police chief. The state university-police statute expressly includes the Arboretum in the framework for commissioning campus law-enforcement officers, supporting a sworn-police entry rather than assuming ordinary private security.
How the agency is organized
The verified material establishes the campus-police function but does not provide a current full organization chart, staffing total, or detailed institutional police history. Its campus setting should be distinguished from municipal Asheville policing and from the statewide park-ranger organization.
Official records and officer resources
The Arboretum publishes 828-779-8622 as its campus-police contact. The institutional staff directory and G.S. 116-40.5 are the principal verified sources. A general visitor entrance address is not automatically a police headquarters. Questions about a particular report or employee policy should be directed through the institution’s current official contacts.

Blank or unavailable values remain “Not published.” Participating agencies and reporting scope vary. Campus figures concern the reporting institution; a city name does not expand them to all local residents. Read the data definitions and limitations.
