Random Act of Thoughtfulness

This morning we received a large envelope in the mail from Nancy in Virginia. It contained 9 individual hand written, prayer and appreciation cards for every one of our officers. We are truly touched and appreciative that Nancy and her friends have included our department in their mission! I have attached the letter and a few pictures of the cards that we received.

Many of our roads remain snow-covered and ice-covered this morning. Please give our amazing crews at the South Carolina Department of Transportation the time and space they need to safely clear and treat the roads.

If you don’t have to travel, please stay off the roadways so they can do their jobs safely and efficiently.

Stay safe and warm, Bishopville! ❄️

Bishopville Police Department Urges Residents to Prepare for Impending Winter Storm

The Bishopville Police Department is encouraging all residents to prepare now for the winter storm expected to impact our area in the coming days. Citizens are advised to make sure they have enough food, water, medications, and other essential supplies to last several days in case travel becomes hazardous or power outages occur.

We ask everyone to take a moment to check on elderly neighbors, family members, and those with special needs to ensure they have the resources and support they need to remain safe and comfortable throughout the storm.

Residents are encouraged to complete any necessary travel and preparations before the storm arrives and remain off the road once conditions worsen. This will allow the South Carolina Department of Transportation and local officials to safely and effectively clear the roadways as soon as possible.

City, county, and state officials will continue to collaborate with the Emergency Operations Center to keep our citizens informed and up to date as conditions develop.
