The North Carolina State Capitol Police is a capitol police force responsible for policing North Carolina state government buildings in Wake County, North Carolina. Officers have the same jurisdiction as a Raleigh police officer would have within the city limits. They also have jurisdiction on state property statewide. The force is part of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. The force does not police the buildings of the North Carolina General Assembly, which is the responsibility of the separate North Carolina General Assembly Police.
