October is National Pedestrian Safety Month
During National Pedestrian Safety Month, the Department of Public Safety encourages drivers to slow down and be alert for pedestrians. At some point during the day, everyone is a pedestrian. Unlike drivers, pedestrians do not have the protection of a vehicle and its safety features during a crash.

October, with its many Halloween celebrations and festivities, is the perfect month to refocus pedestrian safety efforts. Drivers should be aware that on Halloween evening, there will likely be more pedestrians on the roads and in unexpected places. Families will be trick-or-treating with children who may be unaware of surrounding traffic and dart into the street and oncoming traffic.

On average in 2024 traffic collisions, a pedestrian died every 74 minutes and one was injured every 7 minutes. An estimated 71,635 pedestrians were injured in traffic crashes in 2024, a 5% increase from the 68,241 pedestrians injured in 2023. Additionally, pedestrian fatalities remain high in the United States —18% of all traffic deaths in 2024 were pedestrians. This highlights a critical safety issue that affects everyone.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) are proud to work with local law enforcement across the country to protect road users and help save lives. The Memorial Day holiday weekend is an especially dangerous time on America’s roads, as it is the first long holiday weekend of summer.
To keep our nation’s roads safe during this busy season, South Carolina will be conducting the Click it. Don’t Risk It. high-visibility seat belt enforcement campaign from May 18-May 31, 2026.
Buckle up, South Carolina (BUSC) is a high-visibility enforcement campaign that focuses specifically on the consequences of not wearing a seat belt while urging riders to always buckle up. Materials created for this campaign highlight law enforcement’s goal of encouraging drivers and passengers to wear seat belts and to spread awareness about the increased police presence on our nation’s roads during this period.
Facts about seat belts and child safety seats:
• On average, every 54 minutes a passenger vehicle occupant not wearing a seat belt dies in a traffic crash.
• In 2024, 9,758 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes were not wearing seat belts.
• The national estimate of seat belt use during the day by adult front-seat passengers in 2024 was 91.2%.
• In 2024, more unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes at night (5,364) than during the day (4,319).
• In 2024, 56% of passenger vehicle occupants killed at night (6 p.m.–5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts.
• Among young adults 18 to 34 killed while riding in passenger vehicles in 2024, 59% were completely unrestrained — one of the highest percentages for all age groups.
• Men make up the majority of those killed in traffic crashes. Men are also overrepresented in unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities with 53% of men and 40% of women dying without a seat belt in 2024.

So, we dedicate this post to you haters, who we pray that never have to swallow their pride and make that terrible phone call to ask for our help.

May Is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
May marks the beginning of riding season for many motorcyclists in America. It is also Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) remind all motorists that “Motorcyclists’ Safety Is Everyone’s Safety”. Motorcycle safety is an ongoing responsibility for all road users.
Each year, motorcyclists are overrepresented in traffic crashes. Two leading contributors to this reality are speed and alcohol impairment. It is important to note that, while in years past, riding was seen as a leisure activity, it is now often a person’s primary, or only, mode of transportation. It is essential that riders and drivers both pay critical attention to their driving habits and to each other while out on the roads.
According to NHTSA’s national data:
• 6,228 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes in 2024, which represents 15% of all traffic fatalities.
• The fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled for motorcyclists was 27 times greater than the passenger car occupant fatality rate in 2024.
• 37% of all motorcycle riders involved in fatal crashes in 2024 were speeding, compared to 22% of all passenger car drivers. Motorcycle riders 15 to 20 years old involved in fatal crashes had the highest speeding involvement at 56% in 2024.
• Of the 2,125 motorcycle riders who died in single-vehicle crashes in 2024, 40% were alcohol-impaired.
• Motorcycle helmet use increased among motorcycle riders from 66.5% in 2022 to 73.8.5% in 2023. Similarly, among motorcycle riders with passengers, helmet use increased 58.3% in 2022 and 72.3% in 2023.
May is a great opportunity to include and increase motorcycle safety across all platforms, for both motorcyclists and drivers. To keep everyone safe, we urge drivers and motorcyclists to share the road and be alert, and we're reminding motorcyclists to make themselves visible, to use DOT-compliant motorcycle helmets, and to always ride sober.

First off, we apologize for not getting this out last week. We tried something different this time. We attempted to reach out to all these individuals in an effort to avoid being "put out there like that".
Secondly, the easiest way to avoid being "posted all over Facebook" is to call us or respond to us and let us know you want to turn yourself in.
Thirdly, we greatly appreciate all the publics help.

Round 2... We also wanted to add some clarification, specifically for those who say:

If this is the most wanted, Loris is in great shape – (Yes & the city or loris is in great shape, thank you and we appreciate your support!)

It’s definitely a small town. – (Yes, we are and we recommend you come by to visit, obviously a safe place with great food and shops.)

Not a single violent offender that’s wanted out of loris? – (If and when we have violent offenders, we move very hard to arrest the perps immediately and are not afraid to ask for help from all agencies, especially the us marshals fugitive task force.)

Please leave these ppl the hell alone! – (Sorry, we can't and won't do that.)

Don't you have anything else better to do? – (No, due to the hard work of the loris police department, the town has never been safer.)
