For over 150 years, the Sumter Police Department has been serving the citizens of Sumter, South Carolina on the solid foundation of public trust and safety. Sumter PD officers serve a 40,000-strong town and are committed to treating all in our vibrant community fairly and with respect. We are a CALEA accredited agency and maintain their gold standard of serving and protecting our communities.
Even though Christmas Day has come and gone, perpetrators of grinch-ly activities are seldom done.
🟩 Remove valuables, firearms, keys/key fobs and all other enticements for unwanted mischief from your vehicles and keep them locked.
🟩 Be suspicious of text messages, emails and phone calls soliciting funds and/or your personal information or claiming you or a loved one has unpaid bills or fines. Some scammers may even claim you have something good coming your way. If you have to pay something to get it, then stay clear.
🟩 Notify law enforcement of activity near neighborhoods or businesses that strike you as odd. Descriptions of people or vehicles, direction of travel, time of day, etc. are helpful when provided to officers.
If within the city limits of Sumter, the Sumter Police Department can be reached at 803-436-2700. Always dial 911 in an emergency. E-911 telecommunicators are there to assist.

It’s all about community and partnerships. Sambino’s shared the holiday spirit with all first responders working on Christmas by providing them with a meal. OFC G. Richardson and other Sumter PD on-duty officers were among those who stopped by for a bite. We are grateful to Sambino’s and the community we serve.

Just a reminder that Letters for Santa need to be placed in the red mailbox at the front of our building, 335 N. Lafayette Drive, no later than Dec. 21.
Please include your first and last name and address so that Santa can reply by Christmas.
If you dropped off a letter that did not include an address, please send us a DM to our Facebook or Instagram page describing your letter and a phone number. No promises, but Elves assigned to Santa will try to identify your letter so that the big guy at the North Pole can respond.

Who do I’m giving the letter to
Tabitha Bell Laws

We did that last year and never received anything except a letter saying that they got kids request. The police department claimed they didn't know anything about box being placed outside????? Good luck with secret Santa!!!
Santa and Mrs. Claus made an early stop by a few of the local schools this morning.
Most likely our friends at Alice Drive and Bates Middle and Sumter High schools are on the "nice" list this year.

Thank you for getting involved in our schools. It touched my heart and meant the world to the kids when the two officers were passing out candy canes at Alice drive elementary this week before school at the parent drop off circle. Much needed and much appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Santa and Mrs Claus. This is a special gift. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
