Members Review
“I looked around at several of the associations available to me as a Greensboro Police Officer and saw North State as the most invested in our city. I became an officer to facilitate positive change in the lives I serve and North State shares this ideal, so the decision was simple to apply for membership.”
~ Officer D.J. Williams II
“I joined NSLEOA to be part of an organization that supports its law enforcement officers and is active in its community. I also enjoy the camaraderie and friendships I have made while being a member.”
