The Benedict College Police Department sends our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Greenville City Police Department as they mourn the tragic loss of Sgt. Ashley Munoz.

We also lift up Sgt. Diana Munoz in prayer as she continues to fight toward recovery.

During this incredibly difficult time, we stand beside our brothers and sisters in blue and ask our community to keep their department, family, and loved ones in your prayers.

From all of us at Benedict College Police Department, we honor their service, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting others. 💙🖤

🚔 Benedict College Police Department is proud to announce that we will be the hosting agency for the 2026 South Carolina Association of Law Enforcement Explorers (SCALE) Summer Conference.

This year, Benedict College Police Department and the Columbia Police Department, SC are jointly hosting the South Carolina Association of Law Enforcement Explorers (SCALE) Conference on campus from July 19 to 25, 2026.

When we hosted the conference in 2022, it was a phenomenal experience, and we are excited to do it again this year. This conference brings together Law Enforcement Explorer Posts from across South Carolina for a week of leadership development, hands-on training, competitions, networking, and mentorship opportunities for future law enforcement professionals.

Please take a moment to view our video recap from the 2022 Summer Conference. We look forward to welcoming agencies and explorers from across the state to Benedict College this July.

If you have any questions about the conference, would like information on how citizens can help, or are interested in making a donation toward the conference, please contact Lieutenant Sherman at:
