Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit

The East Carolina University Police Department, located in the Blount House, is a professional police department providing the same level of service offered by a municipal police department, as well as other services unique to an academic institution. The department is responsible for the wellbeing of everyone at the University 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The average daily population served is approximately 40,000 including students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The department works closely with administrators, students, faculty, and staff to create and maintain a secure atmosphere. Its statutory arrest jurisdiction includes all University property as well as streets and sidewalks adjacent to the property. In addition, it participates in a mutual aid agreement with other local departments, including the City of Greenville, which gives University Officers jurisdiction in much of the city-area surrounding the University. University Officers are also assigned to local multi-jurisdiction task forces.

The ECU Police Department consists of over 50 full-time sworn police officer positions and up to 10 sworn reserve officer positions that are certified by the State of North Carolina and 16 non-sworn departmental personnel. ECU Police Officers patrol university grounds on foot, in patrols cars, and on bicycles.
