What activities are your chapter involved in? Since our inception we have made every effort to become a resourch to our communities. Our goal is to have a community wide approach to the reduction of crime and delinquency through various community outreach programs.
Although these outreach programs differ among the chapters we have done the following:
* Provided over $3000 in college scholarships.
* Made over $700 in donations to youth programs.
* Chapter members mentor students in various academic subjects.
* Conducted several successful coat drives.
* Taught numerous "Law & You" programs to middle and high school students.
These activities were only successful because of community support for our fundraisers. Our Scholarship dinner dance in September and the expected success of our upcoming golf outing. Back to Top

Is NOBLE new? The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) was founded in September, 1976, during a three day symposium to address crime in urban low income areas. The symposium was co-sponsored by the Police Foundation and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). The Joint Center for Political Studies (JCPS) coordinated this unprecedented event in which sixty (60) top-ranking black law enforcement executives representing twenty-four (24) states and fifty-five (55) major cities gathered in the Washington, D.C. area to participate. They exchanged views about the critically high rate of crime in black urban communities and the socioeconomic conditions that lead to crime and violence. They raised questions about relevant issues such as fairness in the administration of justice, police community relations, the hiring and promotion of black police officers, and the unique problems of the black police executive.
Recognizing that black law enforcement executives could have a significantly more effective impact upon the criminal justice system through a unified voice, the symposium participants departed from the planned agenda to create NOBLE. They unanimously elected Hubert Williams, then Director of the Newark, New Jersey Police Department, and the first black police chief of a major city, temporary chairman of NOBLE. Back to Top
