Meet the guardians of your hometown!

"In a republic that honors the core ideals of democracy, the greatest amount of power is given to those called Guardians.  Only those with the most impeccable character are given the responsibility of protecting the democracy."  - Plato

Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting our site.  I hope you find it to be a useful resource in learning more about our agency, the services we provide, and how to reach us.  While there is an abundance of information to assimilate, there is one main reflection I hope you will leave this site with - Darlington Police Officers are committed to preserving your safety and happiness.

I am honored to lead such a progressive agency comprised of a staff who apply the utmost excellence, integrity, and initiative every day they work.  Every full-time officer employed by this agency is a resident of Darlington and I believe their passion for the community in which they work and reside is apparent in the friendly, caring, and professional manner they carry out their duties every day.

Please, never hesitate to involve us with your concerns.  We are committed to the philosophy of community-oriented policing whereby we place considerable value in responses that are preventive in nature, rather than reactive, and that engage other public agencies, the community, and the private sector in addressing concerns before they become problems.  The fact is, we cannot do this job without you.

In closing, I would simply like to thank you once again for visiting our site.  Please visit often as it will be updated frequently.  I wish each of you continued safety and happiness in all your future endeavors.

Very Truly Yours,
Jason King
Chief of Police
