Mauldin public safety committees hear fire-prevention tally, police body-camera rollout and community outreach
Summary
At the Nov. 3 Public Safety Committee meeting, Fire Chief McComb reported 4,746 emergency calls for the year and said fire-prevention events reached more than 500 students. Police Chief Miller said vehicle cameras from Axon are now installed and active and reviewed recent community outreach activities including food drives and school events.
Fire Chief McComb told the Public Safety Committee on Nov. 3 that the fire department has run 4,746 calls so far this year and that Fire Prevention Month included 42 events reaching more than 500 students. “It's a busy month,” McComb said, adding that the department enjoyed the outreach and posted photos of events.
Police Chief Miller reported that Axon in-car camera systems have been installed across the department’s vehicles and are now operational. Miller also described recent community outreach: an Explorers team collected and delivered dog food to area rescue groups, trunk-or-treat events drew high demand, and the department plans holiday-season programs including candy-cane distributions and another “coffee with a cop” at a local business. “We’ve got all the cameras installed in the vehicles now,” Miller said.
Committee members asked no follow-up policy questions during the report period. The committee adjourned after brief administrative items and a reminder about an upcoming polar-plunge fundraiser.
