Welcome the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCC) website. MCC membership is comprised of the Chiefs of the sixty-three largest police departments in the United States and Canada. The Association was founded in the late 1960’s when these departments started meeting on a regular basis to share strategies, technology, and influence.

The fifty-six U.S. cities represented in MCC are America’s centers of industry, transportation, education, and commerce. Their police departments provide public safety services to roughly forty per-cent of America’s population. MCC’s U.S. members are also active in advisory roles to the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and are frequently invited to testify before Congress.

Recognizing the impact of the longest undefended border in the world, the seven largest cities in Canada are also members of MCC.

The association is non-partisan, serving member departments and the citizens of both nations and all political parties. MCC strives to provide effective solutions to modern day urban problems, and well as prevent, protect against, and respond to crime and hostile acts launched against the U.S. or Canada.
