"The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) is a
membership group of primarily black law enforcement CEOs and command level
officials in local, state, county, and federal government. It currently has 59
chapters in six regions throughout the United States and members in Canada, St.
Kitts & Nevis, the United Kingdom and several countries in Africa.
The
organization was founded in September 1976, during a three day symposium
sponsored by the Police Foundation and the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration (LEAA). The Joint Center for Political Studies (JCPS) to address
crime in urban low income areas. The symposium was attended by 60 top-ranking
black law enforcement executives from 24 states and 55 major cities. They
exchanged views about the high rate of crime in black urban communities and the
socioeconomic conditions that lead to crime and violence, as well as relevant
issues such as fairness in the administration of justice (or the lack thereof),
strained police/community relations, the hiring and promotion of black police
officers, and the unique problems faced by black police executives and black
police officers in general. Recognizing that black law enforcement executives
could more effectively impact the criminal justice system through a unified
voice, the symposium participants departed from the planned agenda to create
NOBLE."
