NIH Police Jurisdiction

The Division of Police (DP) has been granted jurisdictional ability only within the NIH BethesdaNIH Map Campus. Other NIH facilities, such as the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML), North Carolina facility, Executive Boulevard, and other “off-campus “ facilities are not under the jurisdiction of the NIH Division of Police. This means that all emergency or activities occurring on the Bethesda or RML sites requiring police intervention will receive response from Division of Police staff and specialists. All other NIH facilities need to contact or deal directly with local authorities. 

Any questions regarding jurisdiction should be directed to the Division of Police at 301-496-2387.
