National Criminal Enforcement Association - NCEA

The NCEA is a non-profit member based organization comprised of active and retired law enforcement officers, who specialize in criminal interdiction.

The National Criminal Enforcement Association (NCEA) is a non-profit member based organization comprised of Law Enforcement Officers that have the aptitude to be involved in Pro-Active Criminal Enforcement. Our members run the gamut from highway interdiction operations to investigators involved in advanced criminal investigations and the financial aspects of criminal profiteering. The investigativ

e activities include narcotics investigations, package and parcel interdiction, commercial transportation investigations, illegal gambling investigations (including Internet gambling), bank and wire fraud, insurance fraud, computerized crimes and terrorism investigations. Our members are dedicated to the networking and sharing of information about current criminal trends and active criminal investigations. The NCEA preaches that cases are not finished when the traffic stop is over on the side of the road; in reality, they have just began. With the advent of our secure web-based forum that is updated in real-time, our members are aided by an active law enforcement contingency from across the country to help them in taking all their cases to the next level! The NCEA was founded in 1999 as a tribute to slain Villa Rica Georgia Police Captain Robbie Bishop. Captain Bishop was one of the original pioneers of Pro-Active Criminal Enforcement and its teachings. On January 20, 1999, Captain Bishop paid the ultimate sacrifice on the side of a cold, busy Georgia interstate. The NCEA has dedicated its existence to memorializing this hero and the stance he took against the criminal element. His strong belief in educating law enforcement officers in the tactics of advanced criminal enforcement is continued today by the NCEA. Our motto: "In Pursuit of the Criminal Element – The Fight Continues," states what Captain Bishop, and many others before and after, have lived and sacrificed by. Our membership is very diverse. We have representation from Federal Agencies, State Police Agencies, Highway Patrol, US Wildlife and Fisheries, County and Municipal Peace Officers to name a few. All of these dedicated professionals make a significant contribution to the Homeland Security of our country through aggressive criminal enforcement. This includes enforcement of all crimes and laws that are committed and violated. Our members are dedicated to the incarceration and service of justice to all who disregard and violate the laws that protect the citizens of this great country.

The National Criminal Enforcement Association remembers the loss of Officer Andrew Dunn, member # 3695, of the Sandusky, Ohio Police Department.
On March 19, 2011, Andy Dunn was shot and killed while attempting to question a suspect.

Officer Dunn was patrolling near Tyler Street and Hayes Avenue when he saw a suspect riding his bike in the street with no lights. Officer Dunn tried to speak to the suspect, but the suspect evaded the officer and kept riding. Officer Dunn then turned on his overhead lights and pulled the suspect over.

As Officer Dunn exited the cruiser, he noticed that the suspect had his hand in his pocket and asked him to show his hands. At that point the suspect opened fire and Officer Dunn was hit with five rounds. Though critically wounded, Officer Dunn managed to raise his gun and return fire, emptying 12 rounds from his .40-caliber G***k service pistol at the suspect, who ran away, but was struck twice in the arm.

Back up officers arrived at the scene soon after the shooting and paramedics transported Officer Dunn to the hospital where he passed away.

The subject was apprehended nearby. In August 2012 he was convicted of Officer Dunn's murder and sentenced to life in prison, with no chance of parole or judicial release.

Officer Dunn had served with the Sandusky Police Department for three years.
Please say a prayer for Andy's family and close friends as they memorialize our brother throughout today...

Today is an emotional day for so many. We memorialize the day we lost Captain Robbie Bishop on this date, back in 1999.

His training is still impacting new and older officers as we continue to keep his spirit alive. For Robbie, it wasn't just a job, it was a calling. That calling has never been more important than it is in today's volatile climate. We are thankful for who he was and how his flame continues to burn. Please remember his family and closest friends, as today is truly difficult to reflect.....
