Voices from Law Enforcement

“The SC Highway Patrol would like to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming support LEAD Greenville has extended to the Law Enforcement Community. It is citizens and businesses, such as you and yours, that instill the perseverance needed in our Troopers to come out each and every day to ensure the safety of those traveling the Upstate roadways. The upcoming law enforcement appreciation event will no doubt be a successful one and we look forward to attending. Thank you for all that you do to support our agency.”

– Captain Wes Hiott, SCHP Troop Three Headquarters

“The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office sincerely appreciates the support that LEAD Greenville extends to our Deputies and civilian staff each and every day. The effort that our staff makes every day to serve and protect, accompanied by the support of the community, makes Greenville County a safer place to work and live. I want to personally thank all that are involved with LEAD Greenville in supporting the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.”

– Johnny Mack Brown, Former Sheriff, Greenville County

“It’s been an honor to work beside LEAD Greenville in their efforts to show such unwavering support for our fellow men and women in law enforcement. What started as a kind gesture of appreciation has grown exponentially into an entire week to honor the work of those who put their lives on the line everyday. I speak for my brothers and sisters in blue of how much this week means to us all in the law enforcement community.”

– Chief Deputy Marcus Davenport, Greenville County Sheriff’s Office
