North Carolina Coastal Plain Police Academy, Inc. was established in 1967 by thirty-one law enforcement agencies in the eastern part of the state.

The Criminal Justice Regional Coordinating Centers (CJRCC) exist to serve the comprehensive education and training needs of the criminal justice personnel in North Carolina.

• Establish cooperative planning and coordination of training with other agencies, colleges and regional coordinating centers
• Disseminate advanced law enforcement education and training information
• Develop advanced instructional resources through tailored train-the-trainer programs
