Mooresville Police Chief Ron Campurciani was recently elected to a leadership position by the International Association of Chiefs of Police during the organization’s annual conference in San Diego, Calif. His term will run two years.
“I am honored to be elected to serve as the vice chair of the Midsized Agencies Division by my peers across the country who make up the Midsize Agencies Division,” Campurciani said.
“More importantly, Mooresville will have a voice on issues affecting law enforcement nationally and internationally, from policy to retention, training, technology usage, and more,” the chief added. “Mooresville residents and visitors will be the recipients of innovative policing resources and practices from around the globe, and I will be able to bring those best practices to Mooresville as we move forward and grow together as a community.”
The IACP Midsize Agency Division is made up of all police agencies with between 50 and 999 sworn officers.
Campurciani has spent over 38 years working in law enforcement across the country. He joined the Mooresville Police Department in 2019. He previously served as the chief of police in West Springfield, Mass., and as the executive director of the Western Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association.
During his career, Campurciani has held many roles, serving as a DEA Task Force agent, an SRT Commander, Officer in Charge of a Narcotics Unit, the Commandant of a Regional Police Academy, and the Head of Internal Affairs, among other specialties. He is a graduate of the 195th Session of the FBI National Academy, where he was named the honor graduate and class spokesperson. Along with his roles in law enforcement, Campurciani has also served as adjunct professor at many colleges and universities in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
