Members of the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office joined the community this weekend for the 9/11 Heroes Run.

The CCSO team turned out strong, reflecting the dedication and unity that guide our service every day. Organized by the Travis Manion Foundation, the event offered a powerful opportunity to pause, remember, and recommit ourselves to preserving the memory of the lives lost and the heroes who stood up in the face of tragedy.

💙 A LIGHT OF REMEMBRANCE 💙 The Lonnie Hamilton III Public Services Building shined blue in honor of Charleston County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Michael Hendricks. We are incredibly grateful to Charleston County Government for this beautiful gesture of remembrance, and to everyone who has reached out, shared kind words or found their own special way to honor Michael.

The outpouring of support from our community, fellow law enforcement agencies and friends near and far has meant more to our CCSO family than we can express.

Thank you for standing with Michael’s family, friends and fellow deputies as we remember and honor one of our own. 💙

The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office is deeply saddened to confirm the passing of 33-year-old Charleston County Deputy Michael Hendricks, who was involved in a vehicle collision Wednesday, September 9, 2026, while on duty. Deputy Hendricks joined the Sheriff’s Office in April of 2023, and most recently served as a member of our Metro Unit.

This news has deeply affected all of us. Deputy Hendricks was known for showing up every day ready to serve and ready to help others—that commitment didn’t stop when he went home.

We are grieving alongside his family, friends, and coworkers, and ask our community to keep them in their thoughts. Out of respect for the family, we will share additional information when appropriate.
