South Carolina Highway Patrol

South Carolina Highway Patrol has lost 52 officers across 95 years on record. 20 — 38.5% — were killed feloniously, meaning officers were deliberately targeted and murdered in the line of duty. This is 4.6 percentage points above the national average of 33.9% for Highway Patrols — reflecting the particular danger faced by officers in this jurisdiction.

31 officers were lost to accidents — 59.6% of this agency's fallen, compared to 60.8% nationally for Highway Patrols. Across this agency's history, roughly 1 in every 2 officers who died did so in an accident.

This agency has also lost 1 K9 partner — working animals who served alongside officers and gave their lives in that service. They are honored on this memorial alongside every officer.
