Chief Davis and Sheriff August would like to release the following information.

As a proactive measure and out of an abundance of caution ahead of upcoming summer events, Chief Davis, in partnership with the Darlington City Police Department, Darlington County Sheriff’s Office, Hartsville Police Department, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division have increased patrol and enhanced law enforcement visibility in all areas of Darlington City and the surrounding areas in Darlington County. Residents can expect to see an increase in law enforcement presence throughout these areas as operations are conducted.

Our highest priority is to serve and protect the people of Darlington County. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring safety and security of our communities, whether citizens are at home, working or carrying out their daily activities. Every resident deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood and community.

In order to be most effective in our mission, Law Enforcement relies on the support and partnership of the community. If you see any suspicious activity or have any information regarding these incidents, please report it to your local law enforcement agency. By working together, we can continue to strengthen public safety and make Darlington County a safer place for everyone.
