The North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) extends a warm welcome to students, teachers, and staff as they begin the new academic year in Charleston County School District (CCSD) schools. As we mark this important occasion, we urge everyone to prioritize safety and security in our community.

As students return to class, our officers will be present in and around school zones to ensure a safe and smooth transition. We remind all drivers to exercise caution and follow traffic laws, particularly in areas with high pedestrian traffic.

Let's work together to make this academic year a successful and enjoyable one for everyone! If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your local authorities or school administrators.

Stay safe, and happy learning!

Remember: NCPD is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all members of our community. If you see something, say something. Report any suspicious activity or concerns to our department at 9-1-1 for emergencies, 843-743-7200 for non-emergencies, or through our CRIMEWATCH app (also, for non-emergencies).
