Dear fellow Chiefs,
President’s Message
It is my great honor to report on the state of our South Carolina Police Chiefs Association. We have had a great 2025 and our conference is coming to life. It is gaining steam and we are excited!
Over the past year, our association has worked tirelessly to represent the needs of law enforcement leaders across South Carolina. Together, and with the expert guidance of Director J.J. Jones, we achieved significant legislative wins that will continue to strengthen our ability to serve and protect our communities.
These victories are a direct result of the unified voice of our members, and they demonstrate the impact we can have when we stand together for what is right. We have also connected with many vendors who aid us in improving the services and resources we can use in our agencies. Our association has also been represented with pride and professionalism at countless events throughout the State.
In addition to celebrating our progress, the 2025 conference is also a time to look ahead. I am confident that our association’s momentum will only grow stronger under the leadership of our incoming president, Chief Josh Detter. I look forward to seeing the vision and continued progress he will bring to the role in 2026.
I encourage you to take full advantage of every training opportunity, whether it be during the sessions at the conference, networking while sharing a meal, or attending other SCPCA events. My hope is that together, we will continue to move our profession forward and support one another.
This year spent as your president has been very rewarding and impactful for me, and I am sad it is coming to an end. I would like to thank my board for their support and assistance and would also like to thank Director JJ Jones and Office Manager, Jenny Lewis, for their dedication and the hard work they do for our association every day.
It is truly an honor to serve alongside so many professional leaders. I have connected with several of you throughout the year and have appreciated the many friendships that have been formed. Thank you for your commitment, your leadership, and your commitment to South Carolina.
With much respect and gratitude,
Dana K. Crowell South Carolina Chiefs of Police Association
President Dana Crowell
Executive Director’s Message
Chiefs of Police and SCPCA Supporters,
It has been a privilege to serve the South Carolina Police Chiefs Association family for the last five years. It’s hard to believe that five years flew by so quickly. Looking back on the application process that occurred five years ago, I can see that God was at work when he gave me the opportunity to serve my chiefs of police in South Carolina.
I came into this position with a background in law enforcement and a strong work ethic that I learned from my parents and athletic coaches in rural Bamberg, County. The work ethic examples shared with me growing up certainly helped me overcome the hurdles of coordinating lobbying activities, planning training sessions and networking conferences.
After five years of serving my chiefs of police, I feel like our association has grown and our conferences are now selling out with our exhibitors willing to stand in line to support our organization. That is a great feeling to know that our exhibitors recognize the partnerships that we have built and know that we are working together for the long-haul.
Just so my members know, my family has changed a little in 2025. My lovely wife, Laura, has retired from teaching after 28 years of service to Lexington School District 1. Our son,
Jacob Price Jones, has shipped off to The Citadel and is in his first year as a fourth-class citizen Knob in Charleston. We are adjusting to the new normal in our home and are ready to see what 2026 has to offer!
We would like to share a special “ Thank You” to all board members and 330+ members of the South Carolina Police Chiefs Association that have helped make all our trainings and events successful in 2025. These BiMonthly training sessions give us a great training opportunity and chance to network with chiefs across the state. Try to make these not just for your self-improvement, but maybe you can help a younger chief that needs a mentor. These training sessions help us solve problems across South Carolina!
We are also looking forward to our largest conference in recent history. As of September 4, the current roster sits at 140+ attendees for the SCPCA Leadership Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Our training lineup is even stronger than past conferences, and we look forward to learning from some of the best. This year‘s conference is going look a little larger than past conferences because our exhibitors now exceed 108 and we are setting up overflow tables in the hallway of the Marriott Grande Dunes Hotel. It may be bigger, but it is important that we contact as many of these exhibitors as possible. They help us make this
conference possible.
Our SCPCA President, Chief Dana Crowell, has done an outstanding job of leading us through 2025 and we look forward to a strong finish as we complete our conference in October. She helped us lead the charge at the State House and made numerous trips to testify and share law-enforcement’s vision of a successful path forward.
Her testimony helped us move forward law enforcement in our state and keep you on the minds of our representatives and senators. That work in Columbia matters, and she made multiple trips to the capital to represent you, and she did it well!
Know that if you need Jenny or I, please do not hesitate to call, E mail, or stop by and see us on Broad River Road in Columbia. We are here to serve you!

Cougar Police Academy Takes Faculty, Staff ‘Behind the Badge’
Originally published by Charleston Today, July 10, 2025
by Alicia Lutz
“Go! Go! Go! Go!” Deputy Chief of Police Rusty Myers shouted, nudging Ghadir Abuein, an office manager in the Office of College Engagement, through the doors of College Lodge, where two Public Safety officers were searching, guns cocked, for the active shooter. “People are dying in there!”
No, Public Safety wasn’t passing the buck or throwing an innocent civilian into a dangerous situation. The officers were, in fact, providing some valuable insight into the work they face every single day – and having a lot of fun doing it.
And so were the faculty and staff awaiting their turn to suit up and enter the abandoned dormitory
– flash bangs in tow – in search of the “perpetrator” (aka Sgt. James Comfort).
It was the moment they’d all been waiting for: the fifth and final class in the College of Charleston’s inaugural Cougar Police Academy, when they got to really feel the weight of the vest, the rifles, the situation … the responsibility.
“It’s not as easy as people think it is, to run toward danger rather than away from it,” says Dave Aurich, who, as associate dean of students, works closely with the Department of Public Safety and has always held the officers in high esteem. “This gave me an entirely new level of respect and pride for DPS.”
The Cougar Police Academy was designed to give staff and faculty a “behind the badge” view of campus law enforcement opera-
tions and techniques so they better understand the systems in place to keep the College community safe.
“We wanted to provide an opportunity to meet us, see what we do and learn why we do things the way we do,” says Myers. “We wanted to create a bridge between us and the folks around campus. Hopefully it created some ambassadors who now understand us a little better.”
And that was exactly what William Ellis, a case manager in the Academic Success and Retention Office, hoped to get from the academy.
“I wanted to be a bridge and an advocate for Public Safety,” he says. “I’ve always been curious about what goes into keeping a campus like the College of Charleston running safely and smoothly. I see the officers daily,

but I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of their work, their challenges and how they serve not just the College but the surrounding Charleston community.”
To gain that understanding, Ellis and the other participants spent two hours every Wednesday for five weeks learning about different aspects of police work: from patrol procedures to weapon demos to emergency communications to legal considerations to IT and drone operations.
Ellis was particularly impressed with “how the program combined classroom instruction with real hands-on training. That approach made all the difference. It helped me not only learn, but also feel what it’s like to be in their shoes,” he says.
Chief Searson with participant For an even better of the daily realities of policing on campus, Ellis took the chance to do a voluntary ride-along with an officer.
“It gave me a new perspective of the campus,” he says. “I was able to see areas I would have never explored on my own, and became more familiar with key buildings and spaces. It felt like discovering a new side of a place I thought I already knew.”
The academy also gave its participants the chance to get to know people from across campus a little bit better.
“My favorite part was meeting people from all over the College –some I have only known through email,” says Enid Idelsohn, administrative coordinator for the Yaschik/Arnold Jewish Studies Program. “Now there’s a face with their name.”
Getting to know the friendly faces of the DPS staff was also a benefit of the Cougar Police Acad-
emy.
“It’s not only informative, but also a great opportunity to build meaningful relationships with our officers,” says Clarissia Collins, an area residence hall director in the Department of Residence Life, adding that – despite their intimidating gear and uniforms – the officers are all very friendly and welcoming. “I was impressed by how personable and approachable they were, always willing to engage in meaningful conversation.”
Ellis agrees: “The officers were kind, patient and truly passionate about sharing their work. They took pride in making sure we understood both the weight and the value of their role.”
The magnitude of the officers’
Cougar Academy
charge is not lost on Aurich.
“Knowing that there are men and women in DPS who are willing to put their life on the line for mine is something I will never take for granted. Our officers choose to do this, every day, to protect us. And to me, that is special,” he says. “We are in very good, capable and safe hands.”
And, the DPS believes, the better they know the people they serve and protect, the more capable and effective they can be.
“Campus safety is strengthened through relationships with students, faculty and staff. Creating relationships and building upon those relationships makes our campus a much safer place for everyone,” said Chief Chip Searson,
associate vice president of public safety, addressing the crowd of 20-plus participants gathered in the School of Sciences and Mathematics Building’s Auerbach Auditorium on June 25 for the Cougar Police Academy graduation.
Each graduate was presented with a certificate for their participation, in addition to receiving a “Cougar PD Citizens Academy Graduate” tumbler.
But they weren’t the only ones who got something from the experience.
“Our team gained a lot from this experience. We learned from you,” Searson told them. “It was a great to share this time with you. I didn’t want it to end – it was really special for us to share these sessions with each of you.”
“It was a lot more fun than I expected,” Myers agrees, noting that he appreciates how engaged and inquisitive the academy’s first cohort was. “I am looking forward to the next one.”
It’s TBD when, exactly, the DPS will offer the next Cougar Police Academy, but Ellis encourages all faculty and staff to take advantage of the opportunity when they do.
“Sign up. Go in ready to learn, explore and connect. Take it all in, every single moment,” he says. “This program gives you more than just information. It gives you perspective and purpose.
“The Cougar Police Academy isn’t just about training for the job: It’s training for life,” Ellis adds. “This is the kind of learning that stays with you no matter where you go.”
And, now with these new ambassadors on campus, the DPS hopes the Cougar Police Academy’s impact will go a long, long way.

Officers Face Crisis as Ambush Shootings Rise
Originally published by cbsnews. com Aug. 22, 2025
by Laura Geller, Anna Schecter, Graham Kates, Cara Tabachnick, and Nicole Sganga
When police officers responded to a disturbance call at a home in Tremonton, Utah, on Sunday, a man there immediately started shooting at them. Two officers were killed, a sheriff’s deputy was wounded and a police dog was also hospitalized with injuries. It was an ambush.
Mayor Lyle Holmgren said the suspect’s “intention was to cause harm to as many police officers and public servants as possible.”
The shooting was the latest in a growing trend of ambush attacks against police officers nationwide. Shootings against police have
jumped 60% since 2018, according to data tracked by the Fraternal Order of Police, a law enforcement member organization that’s been tracking the shootings since 2015 — and the percentage of ambushstyle attacks is steadily growing.
At least 56 law enforcement officers have been shot in 45 ambush-style attacks in 2025 through July 31, more than 28% of total officers shot, according to data collected by the organization and analyzed by CBS News. Five years earlier, just over 20% of police officers shot in the line of duty were struck in ambush-style attacks.
The Fraternal Order of Police’s national president, Patrick Yoes, wrote a letter to Congress in March advocating for the “Protect and Serve Act,” which would create
a new federal law against knowingly assaulting law enforcement. He said the deliberate attacks are contributing to a crisis in recruiting the next generation of officers and holding onto those who are currently serving.
In July, after a week of violence in which 10 police officers were shot, three fatally, Yoes wrote: “How many more officers must die before Congress acts? Our men and women in law enforcement deserve better.”
‘Send Everyone’
Often, what seem like routine calls are the precursors to planned bloodshed, like what happened to police officers in Fargo, North Dakota, when they responded to a car accident on July 14, 2023.
The call came in from dis-
patch: a BMW sport utility vehicle crashed into a Mazda on 25th Street in South Fargo, one of the city’s busiest streets. Newly minted Fargo police officer Tyler Hawes and his training officer, Andrew Dotas, headed to the scene to assist and interview the drivers and passengers involved.
Right away, Hawes, who graduated from the Fargo Police Academy seven weeks earlier, radioed dispatch for a second officer. He figured they could use some extra help speaking to witnesses and controlling traffic.
Officers Zachary Robinson and Jake Wallin arrived in about 10 minutes. Hawes, who attended the police academy with Wallin, recalled his friend and colleague asking as soon as he got there, “What do you need?”
Less than two minutes later they were ambushed.
Wallin, 23, was killed, and Hawes and Dotas were injured when a man named Mohamad Barakat opened fire from his 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis in a surprise attack, using an Anderson manufacturing rifle with a Bushnell scope. One other person at the scene, Karlee Koswick, was wounded, shot twice on the sidewalk as she tried to flee.
Fargo police officers were ambushed during a routine traffic stop on July 14, 2023. One officer, Jake Wallin, was killed, and two were injured.
One witness, Kim Hauger Sr., heard what he said felt like the sound of a machine gun. Hauger told investigators he saw two police officers moving from the parking lot toward the boulevard, and then saw the officers fall to the ground.
Robinson radioed dispatch, say-
ing shots had been fired.
Ambush Shootings
“Send everyone,” he said, before opening fire on the suspect. “I shot like four times at him at that point,” he said, before reloading and killing Barakat.
The suspect had nothing to do with the vehicle crash. Investigators later found Barakat had been searching online for details on mass shootings, loaded his vehicle with rifles, two tactical vests, thousands of rounds of ammunition and a live grenade.
When he spotted the police officers, he decided to turn his deadly weapons on them — joining a steadily rising list of shooters who have deliberately ambushed law enforcement.
An Upward Trend — and Training to Respond
The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division launched an investigative study in 2025 in response to the troubling trend. Federal agents have begun interviewing offenders in a first-of-its-kind effort to piece together what can be learned about the rise in attacks on law enforcement officers nationwide.
Prior to the recent study, there has been scant research about ambush attacks against law enforcement and why these are happening.
One earlier study from the International Association of Chiefs of Police found 68% of ambushes were considered spontaneous, like the 2023 Fargo ambush, and 32% were planned. The report, published in 2014, analyzed data from 1990 to 2012, a year when six law enforcement officers were killed in ambushes.
According to the IACP, an ambush is defined by four components:
an element of surprise, concealment of the assailant, suddenness of the attack, and a lack of provocation. Ambushes can be classified as either premeditated or spontaneous.
The FBI released a report in 2018 showing ambush attacks on law enforcement doubled from 1996 to 2016. It found that while fewer police officers were being killed overall, surprise attacks in which officers are killed were steadily increasing. (The FBI’s data counts officers killed in ambushes, while the FOP data counts all officers shot.)
There was a large spike in ambush-style attacks in 2023, when 138 officers were shot.
Texas has had more recent incidents than any other state; so far this year, eight officers there have been shot in seven ambush-style attacks. It’s followed by California and Ohio, each with four ambushstyle attacks.
FBI law enforcement operations specialist Kevin Harris has been researching ambush attacks for several years, and he trains police around the country on how to prepare and respond.
“Just speaking in general, it’s been an upward trend that seems to just continue upward and has been for the last several years,” said Harris, who describes an ambush as an instance “where an officer is lured into a place where they can be attacked.”
His training sessions involve analyzing and discussing different ambush attacks that have occurred in recent years. Harris said he wants officers to know “they’ve always got to have that situational awareness.”
“I try to tell officers, ‘Look, you’ve got to find that fine line
Ambush Shootings
between being hypervigilant and dying of a heart attack at a young age,’” Harris said.
Lives Changed Forever
The trauma of these attacks ripples through families, police departments and communities around the country.
“Those lives are impacted forever,” said Harris.
Two years have passed since the Fargo attack and the officers who survived can now speak about what happened to them that day.
Officers Dotas and Hawes spent weeks in the hospital. Hospital staff, family, friends and other officers gathered to applaud as Dotas, wearing a “We are Fargo PD” sweatshirt, finally left the facility with his wife and young son, AJ, by his side.
Dotas, who said he joined the police force because he wanted to live “a meaningful life,” told CBS News about some of the challenges he faced during his long road to recovery.
“I didn’t really get a chance to be a protector anymore. I had to rely on, like, on everyone else to protect me,” he said.
He credits his faith and his family for pulling him through. He also said, looking back on that fateful day, “There was a lot of miracles that took place that day.” Dotas said the medics already being at the scene for the vehicle crash when the shooting happened probably helped save their lives.
Hawes said in an interview released by Fargo police that they were lucky there were two trauma rooms open and two fully staffed medical teams ready to help.
“This event affected everyone that lives here,” said trauma surgeon Dr. Enej Gasevic, who cared
for the officers in a statement. He said it feels like the incident took away some of the innocence of living in the area.
Officer Wallin left behind his parents, brother and fiancée. Dotas, who returned to the force in February 2025, and many other Fargo police officers wear bracelets in his honor.
“It’s so hard because we lost Jake Wallin that day and his family will never have be able to hold him and be able to talk to him and be with him,” said Dotas. “He was a brand new guy,” he added, noting that he related to Wallin because they both served in the military.
Dotas said he often looks down at the bracelet when he’s working
to remember Wallin and his willingness to serve.
“He gave his all, and that’s something that can never be taken away from him,” said Dotas.
Officer Jake Wallin, 23, was killed during an ambush-style attack in 2023.
Groups Urge Trump to Reject ‘Flawed’ Weed Reclassification Push
Originally published by dailywire. com Aug. 25, 2025
by Zach Jewell
Nearly 50 organizations signed a letter sent to President Donald Trump on Monday, urging Trump to keep Marijuana labeled as a Schedule I drug after the administration sparked fierce debate when it announced it was considering downgrading weed’s classification.
The groups — which include faith-based, law enforcement, public policy, and health care organizations — argue that downgrading marijuana’s classification would “result in serious harm to public health and safety,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Daily Wire. Trump raised eyebrows earlier this month when he said during a White House press briefing that his administration would “make a determination over the next few weeks” on whether to
reclassify marijuana.
During his comments on the drug, Trump acknowledged that marijuana can have negative effects on people, especially children. The organizations behind Monday’s letter to Trump hope that the president will continue to consider the health of American children when his administration reviews weed’s classification.
“You have an opportunity to make a stand for the safety of children across America by opposing the flawed proposal to reschedule marijuana,” the letter states.
“Arguments like ‘marijuana should not be in the same category as heroin’ are politically salient and easy to understand, but they fundamentally misunderstand how drug scheduling works,” the letter continues. “Contrary to popular belief, drug scheduling is not a harm index. Rather, it balances the accepted medical use of a
substance with its potential for abuse. Schedule I drugs have no accepted, safe medical use and a high potential for abuse. Marijuana fits squarely within this definition, a fact acknowledged in every scheduling review prior to 2023 (the Obama Administration recommended against rescheduling in 2016).”
Discussions within the Trump administration have focused on classifying the drug as Schedule III, The Wall Street Journal reported. Reclassifying marijuana as Schedule III would put the drug in the same category as drugs that have “a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.”
The issue has divided Americans, including those who are among Trump’s base. The president told reporters on August 11 that marijuana is “a very complicated subject.”
“I’ve heard great things having to do with medical [marijuana], and I’ve [heard] bad things having to do with just about everything else,” he said.
Among the groups pushing Trump to keep marijuana drug classification the same are the National Narcotic Officers’ Associations’ Coalition and the Drug Enforcement Association of Federal Narcotics Agents (DEAFNA). Conservative groups such as CatholicVote and the Family Research Council also signed the letter.
The letter points out that findings from the Centers for Disease Control show that 30% of cannabis users meet the clinical definition of having cannabis use disorder, and cannabis users have a 30% chance of getting addicted. Marijuana is also getting stronger.
“The amount of THC in can-
nabis has increased over the past few decades. Products with high concentrations of THC can have greater intoxicating effects and increase the risk of overconsumption,” the CDC stated. The government agency added that there is some evidence “that high THC concentration cannabis use by adolescents and young adults is associated with continued use and development of future mental health symptoms and disorders.”
Eric Brown, president of the National Narcotic Officers’ Association Coalition said that narcotics officers witness the “far-reaching consequences” of marijuana abuse “every day.”
“Efforts to reschedule marijuana risk sending the wrong message — that the substance is safe — while ignoring the science and significant dangers associated with its use,” he said. “Rescheduling would only
Reclassification
accelerate marijuana consumption, driving higher rates of substance abuse and increasing demands on already strained public safety resources and budgets. We strongly urge the Administration to reject any effort to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.”
The groups also argued that “Marijuana has not been approved for any medical use by the FDA, and it likely never will.” While it’s true that the FDA has not approved marijuana itself to be prescribed for any medical condition, the agency has approved purified forms of the drug, such as Epidiolex, which treats seizures.
“The agency also has approved Marinol and Syndros for therapeutic uses in the United States, including for nausea associated with cancer chemotherapy and for the treatment of anorexia associated with weight loss in AIDS patients,”
the FDA stated.
Proponents of downgrading marijuana’s classification point out that moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III wouldn’t legalize the drug at the federal level, but would only reduce the scale of marijuanarelated offenses. Some states have passed laws legalizing recreational and medical marijuana use, and legalization has become a hot topic in recent years, as pro-cannabis groups have pushed politicians, including Trump, to join their side on the issue.
The pro-weed coalition is moving the needle in their direction on public opinion — and not just on reclassifying weed, but also legalizing it at the federal level. A Pew Research poll conducted last year showed that a majority of Americans (57%) believe that both medical and recreational marijuana should be legal, and 32% said it should be legal for medical use only. Just 11% of respondents said marijuana should be illegal.
Trump addressed the issue at the White House earlier this month after he floated the idea of reclassifying marijuana during a fundraiser at his New Jersey golf club earlier this month, according to the WSJ. Among the guests at the golf club when Trump hinted at the move was Kim Rivers, the CEO of Trulieve, one of the largest marijuana companies in the United States.
Trump also sided with the promarijuana crowd last year in Florida, when he voted to legalize recreational use of the drug in his home state. The marijuana amendment push in Florida received 56%, falling just short of the 60% needed to pass it into law. Legalization efforts also failed in North Dakota and South Dakota last year.
A White House official told the WSJ earlier this month that Trump wants to take on issues like marijuana that are viewed as “8020 cultural issues.” If the president were to take the side of weed proponents, it could also help him and Republicans among independent and young voters in the 2026 midterms.
But according to the group of organizations pushing Trump to say no to downgrading the drug, the risks of reclassifying marijuana far outweigh any potential electoral advantage such a move would give Republicans. The letter highlights how a reclassification of marijuana to Schedule III would end marijuana test requirements for people with numerous important jobs.
In 2024, the National Transportation Safety Board said that “HHS-certified laboratories used for such testing are not authorized to test for Schedule III controlled substances. This would mean that airline pilots, airline maintenance workers, bus and truck drivers, locomotive engineers, subway train operators, ship captains, pipeline operators, personnel transporting hazardous materials, and other safety-sensitive transportation employees would be prevented from being tested for marijuana use.”
Downgrading marijuana to Schedule III would also give dispensaries massive tax breaks, the group points out, arguing that “street dealers and dispensaries alike would be able to receive reductions for promoting or marketing the sale of addictive drugs.” In the letter, the group also states that international drug cartels and Chinese money launderers that operate marijuana farms in the United States could also benefit
Reclassification
from a major tax break if weed is rescheduled.
According to the group urging Trump to keep marijuana a Schedule III drug, America’s drug problem would only get worse if the federal government takes a more lenient stance on weed.
Travis Weber, the vice president for Policy and Government Affairs at the Family Research Council, said, “The deep pain and crisis of meaning that many in our nation are facing will not be made better by encouraging even more drug use, which is what rescheduling would do. Taking substances to temporarily “treat” our mind and body alone can never solve what is really a spiritual problem. Drugs won’t fill the void inside and heal our pain. Only Jesus can do that.”

Building Future Leaders at Camp B.L.U.E
Camp B.L.U.E stands for Building Leaders Using Education. It is a Police Officer led summer camp program that is committed to provide all campers with a safe and supportive environment. One of our goals is to develop a positive bond between law enforcement and youth during their early developmental years. We also provide the youth with a positive summer experience and to increase their opportunities for cognitive, social, and interpersonal growth. We are dedicated to challenge them to be leaders while exposing them to educational experiences, and the opportunity to learn from positive role models. We provide curriculum on many leadership and core value topics during the week, and we incorporate fun activities and field trips for our campers. We strive to make sure that the curriculum, recreational activities, and field trips
all work together to ensure our campers have an exciting learning experience. At the conclusion of the summer program, the campers have a graduation ceremony right before our National Night Out event. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that aims to enhance the relationships between neighbors and law enforcement. Our police department brings all of our divisions to the event to allow the community to engage, ask questions, and interact with us on a friendly level. Local vendors are invited to come showcase their businesses and to connect with the community. This year we had over 35 vendors join us for National Night Out. We host the event, and we provide free food and entertainment. The purpose is to celebrate the relationship between local law enforcement and the community and with
both programs, we accomplish this goal.
