Here are a few of our team members hanging out with their four-legged friends! Although our working K9's aren't pets, they are still a part of our K9 handlers families when off duty.

Thank you to Myrtle Beach residents, Greg and Gina Snyder, who donated $15,000 to Myrtle Beach Police to add a K9 to the K-9 Unit!

Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 28, for the Night of Knowledge at Midtown Vineyard Church. Myrtle Beach Police

-Lock It Up: Always lock your car, even if you're only leaving it for a minute. Double-check all doors, including the trunk and sunroof.
-Remove Valuables: Don't leave valuables in your vehicles. Purses, electronics, weapons, and money make easy targets for thieves.

Our continued efforts to roll out our take home vehicle program; seven additional officers have been assigned their take home vehicles. This program not only helps with recruitment and retention but also helps with lowering maintenance costs and extending the life of our fleet.

Working for the Myrtle Beach Police Department is more than just another day in the office — it is the opportunity to make a difference in your community!
