STATEMENT CONCERNING THE TOWN OF WINNSBORO PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT 
Posted by:
Thursday, January 9, 2025

The Winnsboro Public Safety Department plays a critical role in deterring crime and ensuring the safety of our community. Our dedicated police officers work tirelessly to protect citizens and uphold the law.

Currently, the Public Safety Department is almost fully staffed, with some of our newest officers still undergoing their early stages of training. While we recognize that recent events have raised concerns about the department’s ability to maintain the trust of our community while enforcing the law, we want to assure you that we are actively addressing these issues. We ask for your patience and continued support as we work to strengthen our police force.

The Town Council is committed to equipping the Public Safety Department with the necessary resources and training to ensure our officers are well-prepared to serve. At the same time, the Council is equally focused on ensuring that the Public Safety Department earns and maintains the confidence of Winnsboro’s law-abiding citizens.

We encourage you to continue engaging with the Town Council—whether you have questions, concerns, or thoughts you’d like to share. A fully staffed, thoroughly trained police force is essential for making Winnsboro a safer place for all.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
