We mourn the passing of retired Chief Deputy Eddie Whitlock, a charter member of FOP Lodge #3 in Charleston and a 43-year law enforcement veteran. Our prayers are with his family and fellow FOP members.
Celebrate the life of Edward Whitlock, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Carolina Funeral Home & Gardens.
Today, we remember South Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper David Lee Alverson.
On this date in 1981, Trooper Alverson was killed in an automobile accident when his patrol car was struck from behind.
We’re thankful the Anderson County deputies were not injured. A welfare check can turn dangerous in an instant, and these deputies faced gunfire while responding to someone in crisis.
Officials are investigating a deputy-involved shooting along I-85 in Anderson County on Thursday.
