Horry County police pursue CALEA accreditation, cite GAIN task force arrests
Summary
Chief Lenhardt told the committee the department is seeking CALEA accreditation, launching supervisor training and a chief's advisory board, and reported the GAIN fugitive task force made 127 arrests and identified over 60 affiliated gang members since January.
Chief Lenhardt updated the committee on department initiatives including beginning the CALEA national accreditation process, pursuing an external management study, and establishing training and advisory structures to improve performance. He described new internal affairs review procedures and a quarterly disciplinary report intended to increase transparency.
Discussing enforcement programs, the chief said the GAIN fugitive task force has "made 127 total arrests with that team and identified over 60 affiliated gang members." Committee members commended the accreditation push and training efforts; members asked for follow‑up in August on local training capacities, which the chief agreed to provide. The committee then approved a resolution allocating funds for accreditation, enhanced training and software.
