Mission
The mission of the Fort Mill Police Department is to work in a true partnership with our fellow citizens of Fort Mill to enhance the quality of life in our city. And, by raising the level of public safety through law enforcement, to reduce the fear and incidence of crime. In accomplishing these goals, service will be our commitment.

Our Police Department has 25 officers and 7 civilian employees. We also have specialized units such as: School Resource Officers and Traffic Safety Officers, Narcotic Investigators that are assigned to the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit, a forensic specialist that is assigned to the multijurisdictional forensic services unit, a Criminal Investigations division, and a Police Reserves unit that consists of volunteers.

We offer a Neighborhood Watch program and currently have many throughout Fort Mill. Our officers are always available to speak to civic groups, scouts or church groups.

We are committed to making our community safer through a "community policing" philosophy and partnerships with our citizens and other law enforcement agencies.
