Our Mission

The Lees McRae College Campus Security Team is committed to providing a safe campus, living and learning environment. We are committed to the safety of our students, staff, faculty and property. We provide/support general and emergency services, and we enforce rules and regulations on campus seven days a week. By mutual aid agreements with the Banner Elk Police Department and the Avery County Sheriff's Department, our officers work with and assist law enforcement agencies with violations of North Carolina law on and off-campus when requested.
