Chapter Governing Documents

The North Carolina APCO (Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials) has established a comprehensive framework for governance and operational procedures through its Bylaws and Policy Manual. The Bylaws serve as the foundational legal document that outlines the structure of the organization, defines the roles and responsibilities of its members and leadership, and establishes the fundamental principles guiding its activities. In tandem with the Bylaws, the Policy Manual provides a detailed set of procedures and guidelines that articulate how the organization adheres to and implements the Bylaws. These documents collectively serve as a roadmap for decision-making, ensuring consistency, transparency, and accountability in the governance of the North Carolina APCO. Regular review and adherence to these governing documents contribute to the organization's effective functioning and uphold its commitment to best practices within the public safety communications sector.
