The North Carolina Tactical Officers Association is poised to be the most authoritative and respected name in the North Carolina law enforcement community. Hundreds of police officers will look to the NCTOA for publications, training, resource library and member benefits programs for expertise and direction in responding to the most pressing issues facing police officers today.

Membership is exclusively limited to full time sworn law enforcement officers, active duty military and support personnel.
