From the Office of Sheriff Faile
As Sheriff of Lancaster County, I consider it an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Lancaster County. My number one priority is professionalism and the core values listed below set the foundation of the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.
Honesty
We are honest in all we say and do.
Honesty is one of the most important values. Honesty is the basis for all good relationships and our success in law enforcement comes from building strong, honest relationships with our community.
Respect
We treat people with respect and dignity.
Respect has to be earned and must be shown in return. We are part of the community we serve. Our families live here, work here, play here and attend schools here. We respect and honor the people in our community.
Equality
We enforce the laws of South Carolina equally across the board.
We are sworn to enforce laws fairly. Laws apply to everyone equally, including ourselves.
Loyalty
We are loyal to the people we are sworn to protect, to the law and to our values.
Loyalty is based on trust and respect. We will never compromise our loyalty to our responsibility and community.
Integrity
We ensure integrity in all we do.
We are commited to the highest performance standards, conduct and truthfulness in our relationships.
Service
We serve the public in a professional, caring and efficient manner.
Public service is a challenge we have to live up to every day and the Lancaster County Sheriff’s office embraces the challenge.
