On behalf of the Mount Pleasant Police Department I would like to take this opportunity and thank you for visiting our webpage. It is a pleasure and honor to serve as the Chief of Police for such a great department and community. I take great pride in working with the finest men and women of our police department who are truly dedicated to protecting and serving the citizens of Mount Pleasant and our visitors.

Over the years, the Mount Pleasant Police Department and its citizens have formed a “partnership” in maintaining low crime rates and a high quality of life. Together we will continue to maintain the Town of Mount Pleasant as one of the fines communities in America.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department Mission Statement:

The Mission of the Mount Pleasant Police Department is to enhance the wellness of the Community by working in partnership with citizens to protect life and property, maintain order, understand and serve community needs and enforce the law in a manner consistent with democratic values.


About the Mount Pleasant Police Department:

Welcome to the Mount Pleasant Police Depatrment. We are a nationally accredited agency, sanctioned by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. and became a flagship agency in 2005.

The Department employs 147 sworn officers and 43 civilian personnel, serving a population of 62,000. The Police Department has adopted the Community Oriented Policing philosophy of service delivery, which requires officers to work together with citizens to identify community problems, determine the underlying cause, and develop solutions which address these causes in order to resolve the problem.

The Department has divided the Town of Mount Pleasant, which encompasses 73 square miles, into seven patrol neighborhoods. Each patrol neighborhood is assigned to a specific officer on each shift, who is responsible for maintaining protection and problem resolution on a continuing basis. The Mount Pleasant Police Department was featured in the November 1996 issue of Good Housekeeping as one of the Top Eight Suburban Police Departments in the nation.
