Fountain Inn Police and Fire Departments

FOUNTAIN INN FIRE DEPARTMENT

The men and women of the Fountain Inn Police Department would like to welcome you to the City of Fountain Inn. Our department has 9 civilian and 26 sworn employees who strive daily to provide fair, impartial, and professional service to the community.

The department is comprised of five divisions: Uniform Patrol, Investigations, Special Services, Communications, and Records. Each one of these specialized units play a vital role in assisting the citizens of Fountain Inn when police services are needed.

In an effort to be transparent, all our officers are issued body cameras to be used during calls for service. In 2010, the department established a Citizens Review Committee to review all complaints made against employees, and the review of Use of Force incidents as well. This committee meets once per quarter and is made up of seven members from the Fountain Inn community.

Our Special Services Division hosts numerous programs such as Senior Watch, Summer Camp, Citizens Police Academy, and Super Hero 5k. These programs are free to the community.

The mission of the Fountain Inn Police Department and its employees is:

• We strive for no less than excellence in all we do. • For every person, protection and service • For every circumstance, fairness, respect, and understanding • For every accomplishment, gratitude and opportunity • For every endeavor, teamwork, and professionalism

For every day, integrity, efficiency, and the Golden Rule (akm - 1996)

After much research the Fountain Inn Fire Department can trace it roots back to 1911. Fast forward to 2021 and we have grown tremendously. Currently our department consist of 23 full-time members and 3 part-time members.

Our mission is to provide the highest level of public safety services to our community. We protect lives and property through fire suppression, emergency medical response, disaster management, fire prevention and public safety.

Our members not only protect our fire district but they also participate in teams that provide assistance in the county and state such as Greenville County Emergency Response Team and South Carolina Taskforce 1. By doing this we are able to receive additional specialty training to better protect you.

Our next big project is to become a Fire Safe SC Community. This is a designation given out by Fire Safe SC. Part of this project requires our department to accomplish 14 goals. There are many ways you can help with this. Follow Fountain Inn Fire Department on social media and the biggest way is to become a partner with our department to help promote fire safety information. This can be done in many ways.
