Irmo Police Department Cadets

Serving Our Community at DEA National Take Back Day 💊🚫

Today, Saturday, April 25, 2026, members of the Irmo Police Department Cadet Post proudly assisted with DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This initiative helps keep our community safe by providing a secure way to dispose of unused or expired medications, preventing misuse and protecting our environment.

We’re honored to serve alongside our officers and give back to the community while gaining real-world experience in law enforcement. Thank you to everyone who came out and did their part today!

The Irmo Police Cadet Program honors Preston McElwain, a member of the Core 4, for his leadership and commitment to reviving the program during a critical period.

The Core 4 cadets competed together in various Scales, establishing a benchmark for discipline, unity, and pride. Preston competed in five Scales with Irmo and remained a part of the team in his sixth, living up to the tradition they established.

The Summer Scales of 2025 represented the final complete competition for the Core 4. Preston, the first to advance, established a solid precedent for future cadets. We thank him for his contributions and wish him all the best.

The Irmo Police Department extends its deepest condolences to the South Carolina Highway Patrol and the family, friends, and colleagues of Trooper First Class Dennis D. Ricks.

Trooper Ricks was a hero who served his community with honor and dedication. His tragic passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers our law enforcement officers face every day.

We are grateful for his service and will never forget his sacrifice. We stand with the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, the South Carolina Highway Patrol, and the Ricks family during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Trooper Ricks. We'll take the watch from here. 💙

More information will be provided on social media, at www.scdps.sc.gov and through media notices.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, National Night Out at Moore Park is cancelled for tonight.

Happy Birthday Chief Dale!!!!

We hope you have a wonderful day! 🎉🎂🥳🎈
