Legislative Monitoring

Few people understand just how many areas of our daily lives are touched by the Office of the Sheriff. For instance, did you know…

The biggest budgetary item in most county budgets is that of the Sheriff’s Office. Nearly 80% of the county detention centers in South Carolina are run by Sheriffs’ Offices.

Sheriffs’ Deputies provide almost every type of law enforcement service – including calls for domestic violence, traffic enforcement (including DUI), vehicle collisions, school resource officers, litter control, animal control, E-911 control, management and registration of Sex Offender Registry, nonferrous metal permits, burglary drug interdiction, gang problems, mental health transports, service of civil process papers from the courts.

Our Role at the State House

The South Carolina Sheriffs’ Association plays an integral role in keeping the Sheriffs abreast of legislation that would impact the manner in which they protect and serve their communities. SCSA has also been a key player in the development of legislation that has positively benefited our State. Legislation such as the SC DUI and Nonferrous Metals law. The South Carolina Sheriffs’ Association is the voice of the SC Sheriffs in the complicated legislative process.

Many look to the SC Sheriffs’ Association for valuable law enforcement input such as in the case of recently passed body camera law.
