ON THE JOB. CONNECTING WITH OUR COMMUNITY: Sgt. G. Atkinson assisted residents Saturday as they helped Cram a Cruiser with new, unwrapped toys for local children. Held each year in partnership with the Salvation Army, the Sumter Police Department holds the Cram-a-Cruiser toy drive to help ensure more Sumter families will start the day with smiles on Christmas morning.
An officer and a cruiser will be in front of Walmart on Broad Street to collect toys again from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 6, and on Dec. 13.

You should probably remind people that they can’t come down Miller from Guignard because of the bridge out at the Y. They’re going to have to come down Broad St to get to the Y once the roads are closed off!

'Tis porch pirate season. Here's some suggestions to protect your deliveries:
📦 Track packages to know an approximate date and time of a delivery.
📦 Schedule deliveries to be made when someone is home.
📦 Require a signature.
📦 Make arrangements with a relative, friend or neighbor for prompt pickup.
📦 Ship to your work place or other secure location.
📦 Ship to a delivery site. Some shipping companies have designated locations with package lockers.
📦 Install a package locker on your porch.
If you notice activity in your neighborhood that is out of the ordinary, notify law enforcement immediately. If possible, provide the time, location, direction of travel, descriptions of people and/or vehicles, etc.
The Sumter Police Department can be reached at 803-436-2700.
