The February 5th meeting was our annual "Officer of the Year" presentation.
Horry County Police Corporal Ryan Headley is this year's recipient. He is being awarded for his actions on December 9, 2012, when he encountered a suicidal male who was barricaded in his apartment, had already cut himself and was armed with a shotgun. He was able to negotiate the subject's surrender without further injuries to subject, responding officers, and the public. We are proud to be able to honor him.
Also honored was Investigator Melvyn Garrett of the Georgetown County Sheriffs Office for Meritorious Police Duty. He investigated & apprehended a subject for Attempted Murder of one of our pwn members.
Thank you all who attended. This was our largest turnout for a meeting yet with over 200 people in attendance!

| "When a good cop leaves the 'job' and retires to a better life, many are jealous, some are pleased and yet others, who may have already retired, wonder. We wonder if he [she] knows what they are leaving behind, because we already know. We know for example that after a lifetime of camaraderie that few experience, it will remain as a longing for those past times. We know in the law enforcement life there is a fellowship which lasts long after the uniforms are hung up in the back of the closet. We know even if he throws them away, they will be on him with every step and breathe that remains in his frame. We also know how the very bearing of the man speaks of what he was and in his heart still is. These are the burdens of the job. You will still look at people suspiciously, still see what others do not see or choose to ignore and always will look at the rest of the law enforcement world with a respect for what they do; only grown in a lifetime of knowing. Never think for one moment you are escaping from the life. You are only escaping the “job” and we are merely allowing you to leave “active” duty. So what I wish for you is that whenever you ease into retirement, in your heart you never forget for one moment that “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called children of God,” and you are still a member of the greatest fraternity the world has ever known."
