We have placed a lot of emphasis on collection of material during the past year and now we have started the task of publishing our data to this website. Join us on this site from time to time and checkout the new posts, and be sure to make comments and add to the articles.
We welcome any information related to the GPD and its history. If you were a part of any investigation, inquiry, or case feel free to contribute. The more information we have the more interesting the read.
Thanks to everyone who have made contributions this year and we look forward to all of you being a part of this project as we continue to capture the history of the Greenville Police Department.

This photo of Greenville, SC Police Officers during firearms training was taken near the intersection of what is now McDaniel and East Broad Sts. This is now a part of the park system where the water fall is located. It appears that the Officers are training with shotguns. If you have any information about this photo, please let us know so that we can record more of the history. cd

This old photo is of 1950,s Police Cars parked in front of the old Headquarters building at 22 West Broad Street in Greenville, SC. The department was located here until all was moved to the Law Enforcement Center on McGee St. This building recently fell victim to the wrecking ball to make way for the new hotel-office complex that is being built.
