Mission

We strive for no less than excellence in all we do.

  • For every person, protection and service
  • For every circumstance, fairness, respect, and understanding
  • For every accomplishment, gratitude and opportunity
  • For every endeavor, teamwork, and professionalism
  • For every day, integrity, efficiency, and the Golden Rule

Staff

The Fountain Inn Police Department consist of 37 sworn/certified officers, 9 Communication Specialists and 3 Administrative Staff. We are fortunate to have volunteers in policing (VIP's). The men and women who proudly serve this community are well trained and committed to excellence. We are continuously seeking ways to improve the service(s) we provide.

During 2010 we established and trained a 7 member Citizen's review Committee (CRC).  In our pursuit of not only excellence but transparency, we were eager to adopt a forum to demonstrate our commitment to the community. The CRC's function is to review all complaints and  "Use of Force" incidents as well.
