The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) are proud to work with local law enforcement across the country to protect road users and help save lives. The Memorial Day holiday weekend is an especially dangerous time on America’s roads, as it is the first long holiday weekend of summer.
To keep our nation’s roads safe during this busy season, South Carolina will be conducting the Click it. Don’t Risk It. high-visibility seat belt enforcement campaign from May 18-May 31, 2026.
Buckle up, South Carolina (BUSC) is a high-visibility enforcement campaign that focuses specifically on the consequences of not wearing a seat belt while urging riders to always buckle up. Materials created for this campaign highlight law enforcement’s goal of encouraging drivers and passengers to wear seat belts and to spread awareness about the increased police presence on our nation’s roads during this period.
Facts about seat belts and child safety seats:
• On average, every 54 minutes a passenger vehicle occupant not wearing a seat belt dies in a traffic crash.
• In 2024, 9,758 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes were not wearing seat belts.
• The national estimate of seat belt use during the day by adult front-seat passengers in 2024 was 91.2%.
• In 2024, more unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes at night (5,364) than during the day (4,319).
• In 2024, 56% of passenger vehicle occupants killed at night (6 p.m.–5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts.
• Among young adults 18 to 34 killed while riding in passenger vehicles in 2024, 59% were completely unrestrained — one of the highest percentages for all age groups.
• Men make up the majority of those killed in traffic crashes. Men are also overrepresented in unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities with 53% of men and 40% of women dying without a seat belt in 2024.

We understand that a lot of you hate that we do this, likely because you have a real disdain for Law Enforcement or a real love for criminals, but we're going to keep doing it for the real ones out there, and for the Victims! So, we dedicate this post to you haters, who we pray that never have to swallow their pride and make that terrible phone call to ask for our help. No matter your thoughts or feelings, we're coming to help. You can talk junk about us later, or even during, but we are coming.

May Is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
May marks the beginning of riding season for many motorcyclists in America. It is also Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) remind all motorists that “Motorcyclists’ Safety Is Everyone’s Safety”. Motorcycle safety is an ongoing responsibility for all road users.
Each year, motorcyclists are overrepresented in traffic crashes. Two leading contributors to this reality are speed and alcohol impairment. It is important to note that, while in years past, riding was seen as a leisure activity, it is now often a person’s primary, or only, mode of transportation. It is essential that riders and drivers both pay critical attention to their driving habits and to each other while out on the roads.
According to NHTSA’s national data:
• 6,228 motorcyclists were killed in traffic crashes in 2024, which represents 15% of all traffic fatalities.
• The fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled for motorcyclists was 27 times greater than the passenger car occupant fatality rate in 2024.
• 37% of all motorcycle riders involved in fatal crashes in 2024 were speeding, compared to 22% of all passenger car drivers. Motorcycle riders 15 to 20 years old involved in fatal crashes had the highest speeding involvement at 56% in 2024.
• Of the 2,125 motorcycle riders who died in single-vehicle crashes in 2024, 40% were alcohol-impaired.
• Motorcycle helmet use increased among motorcycle riders from 66.5% in 2022 to 73.8.5% in 2023. Similarly, among motorcycle riders with passengers, helmet use increased 58.3% in 2022 and 72.3% in 2023.
May is a great opportunity to include and increase motorcycle safety across all platforms, for both motorcyclists and drivers. To keep everyone safe, we urge drivers and motorcyclists to share the road and be alert, and we're reminding motorcyclists to make themselves visible, to use DOT-compliant motorcycle helmets, and to always ride sober.

First off, we apologize for not getting this out last week. We tried something different this time. We attempted to reach out to all these individuals in an effort to avoid being "put out there like that".
Secondly, the easiest way to avoid being "posted all over Facebook" is to call us or respond to us and let us know you want to turn yourself in.
Thirdly, we greatly appreciate all the publics help.

Round 2... We also wanted to add some clarification, specifically for those who say:

If this is the most wanted, Loris is in great shape – (Yes & the city or loris is in great shape, thank you and we appreciate your support!)

It’s definitely a small town. – (Yes, we are and we recommend you come by to visit, obviously a safe place with great food and shops.)

Not a single violent offender that’s wanted out of loris? – (If and when we have violent offenders, we move very hard to arrest the perps immediately and are not afraid to ask for help from all agencies, especially the us marshals fugitive task force.)

Please leave these ppl the hell alone! – (Sorry, we can't and won't do that.)

Don't you have anything else better to do? – (No, due to the hard work of the loris police department, the town has never been safer.)

We are starting a new series... LPD Most Wanted! We will choose 4 random files a week to post.

For Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) are teaming up to remind drivers: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. Anyone planning to attend a Super Bowl LX party should either plan for a designated driver or not indulge in drinking. People hosting a party should prepare plenty of food and non-alcoholic drink options for guests, especially for the designated drivers. The designated driver is the night’s real MVP and should keep that commitment from kickoff until time expires.
Facts:
• In 2023, there were 12,429 people killed in drunk-driving crashes.
• Approximately one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers (with BACs at or above .08 g/dL).
• Although it’s illegal to drive when impaired by alcohol, in 2023 one person was killed every 42 minutes in a drunk-driving crash on our nation’s roads.
• The rate of alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2023 was 3 times higher at night than during the day.
• Males are more likely than females to be driving drunk when involved in fatal crashes — in 2023, 22% of males were drunk, compared to 16% of females.

Please if you are going to drink while watching the game make sure you have a driver or stay where you are.

Thanksgiving is around the corner and so is the time for family, friends and gathering. This is also a good opportunity to boost traffic safety communication efforts. Use this themed material to encourage people to not get behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol or drugs and to remind drivers and passengers to buckle up. The Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving Thanksgiving Impaired Driving Campaign will take place nationwide from November 24 to November 30, 2025.
Unfortunately, drunk driving has left a tragic imprint on thousands of families during the Thanksgiving season. According to NHTSA, 174 people died in drunk-driving crashes, in which one or more drivers had a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher, during the 2023 Thanksgiving holiday (6 p.m. Wednesday – 5:59 a.m. Monday). Drivers ages 21-34 (37%) had the highest rate of involvement in fatal drunk-driving crashes on Thanksgiving 2023. From 2019-2023, the death toll in drunk-driving crashes during Thanksgiving festivities was 868, representing more than one-third (35%) of all fatalities in traffic crashes for that period.
To help everyone stay safe on U.S. roads this holiday, remind the public to take the following precautions:
• Travel at a safe speed. Speed affects your safety even when you are driving at the speed limit but too fast for road conditions, such as during bad weather, when a road is under repair, or in an area at night that isn’t well lit. For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities.
• Don’t drive distracted. Pay attention to the road. Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for at least 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed. Teens are the largest age group reported as distracted at the time of fatal crashes.
• Wear a seat belt and wear it properly. The simple act of buckling your seat belt increases your chance of surviving a crash.
• Make sure children are buckled in the right seats for their ages and sizes. Since 1975, 11,606 children ages 4 and under have been saved by child restraints.
• Drive Sober. Designate a sober driver if you plan to drink. Impaired driving deaths are 100-percent preventable.

As communities nationwide prepare for Halloween celebrations, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) remind all drivers that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. Drivers should act responsibly and commit to sober driving to keep themselves, passengers, pedestrians, and other road users safe. This Halloween, let’s make happy memories, not tragic nightmares. The only thing scarier than zombies and witches loose on the streets is an impaired driver.

• In 2023, there were 12,429 people killed in drunk-driving crashes.
• Approximately one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers (with BACs at or above .08 g/dL).
• Although it’s illegal to drive when impaired by alcohol, in 2023 one person was killed every 42 minutes in a drunk-driving crash on our nation’s roads.
• The rate of alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2023 was 3 times higher at night than during the day.
• Males are more likely than females to be driving drunk when involved in fatal crashes — in 2023, 22% of males were drunk, compared to 16% of females.

Officers will be out monitoring and making sure everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.
