Making an impact in the community!

This is what the Greenville Police Department is all about!

A huge shoutout to Officer Fitzgerald and all of our SROs that go above and beyond to not only keep their schools safe, but also have a positive impact on the people that they come across every single day.

Community policing is a core principle of this department, and this is a great example of it!

Chief K.Z. Thomas had a lot of people cheering her on today, but her 7-year-old son may have stolen the show. 💙

SHE DID IT! 💙

A new chapter for GPD. And one incredible woman leading the way.

ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT FLOCK

After listening to feedback from members of our community, City Council, and the City Manager’s Office, the decision has been made not to move forward with the planned implementation of the Flock system.

We also want to clarify some confusion about the cameras currently operating in the area. GPD does not currently own or operate any Flock cameras. Several weeks ago, we announced plans to purchase 10 cameras, but those cameras have not been installed. Any Flock cameras currently visible in or around Greenville are privately owned or operated by another law enforcement agency.

We continue to believe that the use of technology is a valuable public safety tool. However, we also recognize the broader concerns and ongoing discussion surrounding the specific use of the Flock technology at this time, including questions about privacy, access to information and how the technology may be used.

Because the cameras have not yet been installed, and after considering the feedback we have received, we believe now is not the right time to move forward with implementation. We will continue to evaluate how technology can be used as a public safety measure, while balancing the community’s concerns related to privacy and information sharing.
