The Town of Clover was chartered on December 24, 1887. Its origins trace back to a 5,000-gallon water tank built to serve the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad's steam engines. Legend has it that excess water from the tank led to patches of clover growing nearby, inspiring the town's name. Over time, Clover evolved into a thriving textile community, with the textile industry playing a significant role in its economy. TOWN OF CLOVER, SOUTH CAROLINA

🌧️THE ROAD ISN'T THE PLACE TO RUSH WHEN IT'S RAINING!🌧️

Rain doesn't just make your car wet—it makes stopping distances longer and increases the risk of hydroplaning.

⚠️ Slow Down
💡 Turn Your Headlights On
📵 Put The Phone Down
🚗 Leave Extra Space Between Vehicles
🌊 Avoid Standing Water
⏱️ Give Yourself Extra Time To Reach Your Destination

Remember: The speed limit is for ideal conditions. When roads are wet, slowing down could save a life—maybe your own.

☔ It's better to arrive late than not arrive at all.

Stay safe, Clover! 🇺🇸

🚲 TODAY E-Bike Safety & Education Day 🚲

CLOVER PD IS SET UP AND READY TO GO!

Join the Clover Police Department for a free E-Bike Safety & Education Day designed to help residents better understand South Carolina's e-bike laws, classifications, and safety requirements.

Many bicycles marketed as "e-bikes" may not actually meet the legal definition of an e-bike under state law. During this event, officers will be available to inspect bicycles and help determine whether they meet legal classification requirements.

Educational presentations will be offered at:

🕘 9:00 AM
🕙 10:00 AM
🕚 11:00 AM

Topics Include:
✅ E-bike classifications and state law
✅ Where e-bikes can legally be ridden
✅ Rules regarding non-compliant motorized bicycles
✅ Safety tips for riders of all ages
✅ Questions and answers with Clover Police officers

Parents are encouraged to attend with their children. This is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and ensure everyone is riding safely and legally this summer.

Residents may bring their bicycles at any time during the event for evaluation by officers.

🚔🥣 THANK YOU, CLOVER! 🥣🚔

The Clover Police Department is proud to announce that our 2026 Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive was an incredible success!

Thanks to the generosity of our officers, staff, and community supporters, we collected more than 40 boxes of cereal, providing over 349 servings for families in need. Even more exciting, Clover Police Department was recognized as one of the top contributors in the Law Enforcement category! 🎉

A special shout-out goes to Officer William McCoy, who proudly represented Clover PD in the Cereal Eating Contest and did an outstanding job bringing some fun to a great cause! 🥣💪

This effort would not have been possible without everyone who donated and supported the drive. The cereal was delivered to Piedmont Medical Center, where first responders and community partners came together before EMS transported the donations to the Pilgrim Inn, ensuring local families have access to a nutritious breakfast.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make this initiative such a success. Small acts of kindness, when combined, create a lasting impact on our community.

From all of us at the Clover Police Department, and on behalf of Chief Randy Grice, thank you for helping us serve our community both in and out of uniform.

💙 Together, we're making a difference—one box of cereal at a time.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: FAKE "MOTION PICTURE" MONEY 🚨

The Clover Police Department has, in the past, received reports involving counterfeit bills labeled "For Motion Picture Use Only" being used during purchases and transactions.

At first glance, these bills can look very similar to real U.S. currency, especially during a quick exchange. However, they are NOT legal tender and are commonly sold online as movie props.

💵 Before accepting cash, always:

✅ Count the money carefully.
✅ Inspect each bill before completing the transaction.
✅ Look for phrases such as "For Motion Picture Use Only," "Copy," or "Motion Picture Purposes."
✅ Don't allow anyone to rush you during the exchange.
✅ If selling items online, meet in a well-lit public place whenever possible.

🏪 Business Owners & Employees:
Take a few extra seconds to verify larger denomination bills before completing a sale. A quick look can prevent a costly loss.

👮 If you believe someone has attempted to use fake movie money or you have been the victim of this scam, contact the Clover Police Department immediately at (803) 222-9494 Option 0.

📵 YOUR TEXT CAN WAIT. YOUR LIFE CAN’T. 📵

Every time you pick up your phone behind the wheel, you take your eyes, hands, and attention away from what matters most, getting home safely.

South Carolina’s Hands-Free Law is now in effect:

💲 1st Offense: $100 Fine
⚠️ 2nd Offense (within 3 years): $200 Fine + 2 Points on your driving record

That quick text, social media notification, or phone call isn’t worth a ticket, higher insurance rates, or a life-changing crash.

✅ Use Bluetooth or voice commands.
✅ Put your phone in a mount before you drive.
✅ If you need to use your phone, pull over and park safely.

At the Clover Police Department, our goal isn’t writing tickets, it’s making sure everyone gets home safely. Help us keep our roads safe by keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Drive Smart. Drive Safe. Drive Hands-Free. 🚓💙

☀️🚔 SUMMER IS HERE... AND SO IS THE DANGER. 🚔☀️

The warmer temperatures we've experienced over the past few days are a reminder that it's going to be a hot South Carolina summer. As the heat rises, so does the danger for children left inside vehicles.

🌡️ On a 70°F day, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can reach 104°F in just 30 minutes, and on hotter days, it climbs even faster. It takes only a few moments for a routine stop to become a life-threatening emergency.

👶 Before you walk away, remember:
✅ Check the back seat every time.
✅ Keep your keys and vehicle locked to prevent children from climbing inside.
✅ Never leave a child unattended, even for "just a minute."
✅ If you see a child alone in a vehicle, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.

As we head into the summer months, let's look out for one another and help prevent a tragedy before it happens.

🚨 Take one last look before you lock. That simple habit could save a child's life.

The Clover Police Department wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable summer and encourages our community to stay vigilant, stay aware, and always...

🔑👀 LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day from the Clover Police Department! 🚔

Yes, we know the jokes…

And yes, we may have enjoyed a donut or two today. 😄 But, we couldn’t let today pass by without recognizing National Donut Day!! 🍩

National Donut Day is always a fun reminder that some of the best moments in policing happen when we step out of our patrol cars and connect with the community we serve. Whether it’s sharing a smile, having a conversation, or stopping by a local business, those relationships are what make Clover such a special place.

Today, we celebrate the hardworking businesses that keep the coffee hot and the donuts fresh, and we celebrate the incredible community that makes our job so rewarding.

Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and for allowing us the privilege of serving this great town every day.

Now enjoy the video… and don’t judge how many donuts disappeared during filming. 🍩😉
