Community Programs

We offer a number of programs to the community free of charge. They include:

Citizen's Police Academy
Superhero 5K
Community Officer Drug Education Program (C.O.D.E.)
Neighborhood Watch Programs
S.A.F.E.
Senior Watch
Youth Summer Camp
Civilian Response to Active Threat

Not only are we able to offer these programs free, but also the monies used to pay for these valuable assets are the result of fundraising efforts and not tax dollars. We are proud that our programs have served as models for other Police Departments in South Carolina and other States as well.

We want to encourage everyone with a special needs family member to sign up for the SA.F.E. program. All information provided by the family or guardian will not only ensure the safety of the citizen, but also help the responders with much needed information that could be crucial to de-escalating a situation or assisting that individual. Our goal with this program is to be proactive, so we can help you the best way possible if a situation were to arise! Register using our online form.
