I’m sitting outside this beautiful morning, enjoying the peacefulness of our community. Watching residents, workers, and visitors go about their days. A reminder of how most days are on our island.
However, yesterday was a reminder of how fortunate we really are. Our Public Safety staff performed admirably once again. They arrived swiftly at the scene and provided support with media coordination for our partners on Sullivan’s Island. Also, due to their regional connectivity and partnerships, the cooperation from other departments and entities was again something to behold in a time of crisis.
We are so fortunate to have the leadership that sees the value in regional collaboration and are able to call on help when needed. Our staff worked long and hard to keep our community safe.
If you see one of them around, take the time to thank them for their service - they deserve it!
