In the wake of the tragic line-of-duty death of Officer Christopher DeLong and the injury of Officer David Dymock, many members of our community have asked how they can support our officers and their families.

For those wishing to contribute, donations may be made through Serve & Connectโ€™s official Tragedy Response Program. This program provides support to law enforcement families and agencies following critical incidents and line-of-duty tragedies.

We are deeply grateful for the prayers, messages, acts of kindness and support extended to the Columbia Police Department during this incredibly difficult time.

The Lancaster Police Department extends our deepest condolences to the members of the Columbia Police Department, SC and to the family, friends, and loved ones of Officer Christopher DeLong following his tragic line-of-duty death.

Officer DeLong made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting the Columbia community. His loss is felt not only by those who knew and served alongside him, but by the entire law enforcement community.

We send our continued thoughts and prayers to the other Columbia Police officer, David Dymock, who was injured during this incident. We pray for that officers strength, healing, and full recovery.

During this difficult time, we ask the Lancaster community to join us in keeping Officer DeLongโ€™s wife, his two young children, his family and friends, and all of the men and women of the Columbia Police Department in your thoughts and prayers.

We stand with our brothers and sisters of the Columbia Police Department as they grieve the loss of one of their own.

Officer Christopher DeLong, thank you for your service, your courage, and your sacrifice.

May you rest easy, Brother. We have the watch from here.
