Public Safety Committee

The Horry County Public Safety Committee met on August 12, 2026, to discuss various public safety initiatives and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related actions included approval of a resolution to accept the 2026 Local Emergency Management Performance Grant with no additional county cost, and authorization to transfer $94,500 in budget savings from the general and fire funds to the Capital Improvement Program for implementing a new public safety application. Additionally, $75,000 of excess casino boat revenues was approved for transfer to support the Little River Chamber of Commerce's Halloween Fright Nights event. The committee also declared a retired K9 surplus. Discussions included updates on fire prevention campaigns, police training improvements, and court system operations. An executive session was held to discuss contractual negotiations, but no decisions or votes occurred during that session.
