It is the mission of The Charleston Police Department to serve all people within our jurisdiction with respect, fairness and compassion.
We are committed to the protection of life and property; the preservation of
peace, order and safety; the vigorous enforcement of local, state and federal
laws; and the defense of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina and the
Constitution of the United States of America in a fair and impartial manner.
We are committed to serving our community to enhance the quality of life and to
nurture public trust by holding ourselves to the highest standards or
performance and ethics. Our officers are determined to serve as a deterrent to
crime, develop relationships with community groups, residential and business
organizations, and promote an environment receptive to tourism, visitors, and
