AMAZING! 🧸❤️ 75 children from James Island Baptist Church collected 150 stuffed animals to donate to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, giving our deputies a special way to bring comfort and joy to children they encounter!

Members of our Community Engagement Unit visited the church to collect the donations, speak with the children and present them with junior deputy badges in recognition of their kindness!

The donation reflects the church's ongoing commitment to giving back and teaching children the importance of helping others.

A huge THANK YOU to James Island Baptist Church and these amazing young community helpers for spreading kindness, one stuffed animal at a time! 💙

🚨👻 What if police sirens sounded a little more... SPOOKY? 🎃😂

We asked our deputies to give their best impressions of what their sirens would sound like as ghosts, witches, zombies and werewolves. Let's just say some of these sounds should probably stay off the streets! 🤣🚓

Which deputy had the best spooky siren impression? 👀👇

💙 Today, only the monument for Patrolman Steven Hiott is lit blue in the Charleston County Fallen Officer Memorial Garden, marking his line-of-duty death exactly 44 years ago. On Oct. 29, 1982, Hiott and Patrolman Michael O’Connell stopped a car driven by a man they suspected of stealing b**r from a store in Hollywood. The man fought with the officers, fatally shooting Hiott and critically wounding O’Connell. The shooter was later convicted of manslaughter. Hiott, a seven-year veteran of the Charleston County Police Department, was 31. Among his survivors were his wife Pam and son Steve, who would follow in his father’s footsteps and join CCSO as a deputy. We honor Patrolman Hiott’s .

💙 Teamwork makes a difference when it matters most! 👏 Charleston County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officer Deputy Anthony Powell was among several individuals recently honored by the Charleston County School District with its Powered by Purpose Award for their response to a student experiencing a medical emergency.

Last month, a student became ill while riding a school bus to St. John's High School. The bus driver stopped at Edith L. Frierson Montessori, where school staff quickly stepped in to assist the student and called EMS.

Deputy Powell, who serves as the school's SRO, helped es**rt EMS personnel into the building and assisted as they transported the student for medical care.

"It was a team effort, and I appreciate the team that I work with. It's good to be a part of the school staff," Powell said.

Powell, who joined CCSO in July, was recognized alongside school staff and transportation personnel whose quick thinking, compassion and teamwork helped ensure the student received the care she needed.

Congratulations to Deputy Powell and everyone honored for demonstrating the importance of working together and putting students first! 💙💚👏
