Major Cities Chiefs Association
The Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA) is one of the nation's most prestigious and influential law enforcement organizations. It is housed in the Division of Public Safety Leadership.
The membership of the Major Cities Chiefs Association comprises 64 major law enforcement organizations in the United States and Canada. The association was formed in the early 1960s by several chiefs of police who sought a forum to discuss issues relevant to large police organizations. The MCCA has expanded its membership to include suburban police departments, large metropolitan sheriff's departments, and the largest departments in Canada.
MCCA has significant influence on matters related to crime resolution, federal funding of police initiatives, and more. MCCA participates with all leading law enforcement associations and organizations, including the Law Enforcement Steering Committee, to improve the profession and service to the public and communities.
Current membership in MCCA is limited to chief executive officers of departments located within metropolitan areas that serve a population of more than 500,000. Member departments must employ more than 1,000 law enforcement officers.
