Police Chief Joy Crosby introduced new community relations officer Jen McCormick, reported January activity (467 calls, 59 incident reports, 3,450 property checks, 730 traffic stops, average response time ~3:52) and announced upcoming public-safety meetings and education on e-bikes and youth programs.
Chief Joy Crosby introduced Officer Jen McCormick as the department’s new community relations officer and said McCormick has already met with several community groups. Crosby delivered January 2026 statistics: 467 calls for service, 59 incident reports, 3,450 property checks, roughly 730 traffic stops (146 resulted in citations), 23 custodial arrests, five DUI arrests, and an average response time of about 3 minutes 52 seconds.
Crosby encouraged residents to use the department’s services—residence-check requests and property checks—and outlined a series of community events: a public-safety meeting on March 4 at 6 p.m. at the Tega Cay Police Department (with York County Sheriff Tony Breeden as guest), an e-bike safety and legal-definition education series (March 14), "Hopping with the Popo" on March 27, and self-defense classes on March 28 at Gold Hill Middle School. She said the new community officer will be a point of contact for residents and that the department plans to continue outreach and safety education.
Chief Crosby described the department’s efforts to reduce street-safety issues and to provide educational resources to families; she also highlighted that 12 department members completed National Registry EMT certifications and two recruits are due to graduate from recruit school.
