NC Special Police The history of special police / company police in North Carolina spans almost one hundred and twenty five years. As special law enforcement problems arose

As special law enforcement problems arose which could not adequately be handled by existing officers, new law enforcement agencies were created to handle these problems. The officers of these agencies were called "special policemen" and were authorized for railroads in 1871, for electric or water power companies and construction companies in 1907 and for manufacturing companies in 1923. See, N.C.

Code Ann. §§ 3484-3488 (Michie, 1935). In many Company Police Study Guide 2.19.133.
