PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY
Community Awareness During Homecoming Activities

As Homecoming activities continue throughout Bennettsville this evening, the Bennettsville Police Department is asking residents, visitors, families, and attendees to remain aware of their surroundings and use good judgment throughout the day and evening hours.

Last night, officers responded to two separate shooting incidents within the City of Bennettsville. These incidents are unrelated to one another.

Although the incidents are separate from today’s Homecoming activities, they serve as an important reminder to remain alert during a day when our community is seeing a significant increase in pedestrian traffic, vehicle traffic, and large gatherings, especially in and around Carroll Field and the Marlboro Street area.

We encourage everyone to enjoy the festivities while paying attention to what is happening around them. Stay with your group, keep track of children and juveniles in your care, avoid unnecessary confrontations, and remove yourself from situations that appear to be escalating.

If something does not look or feel right, do not ignore it. Notify law enforcement. If you observe a weapon, hear gunfire, witness a confrontation that is escalating, or believe someone is in immediate danger, call 911 immediately.

Our officers will maintain a visible presence throughout the area. We also ask everyone to do their part by looking out for one another, reporting concerning behavior, and walking away from situations that could lead to unnecessary conflict.

Homecoming is a time for community, tradition, and celebration. Help us keep it that way.
