Seasons Greetings from your Town!  This is a busy time of year, but please consider Town service as a New Year resolution.  We need your energy for one of our out-of-cycle vacancies on the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals (details below).   

Remember dog permits and business licenses are renewed starting January 2013. However, Town Hall is already selling 2013 dog permits!  Please keep safety in mind this holiday and note the special garbage schedule for the next two weeks.  As usual, this and more information is available on the Town's website.
Have a safe and happy holiday!

Going Out of Town Over the Holidays?
Tips to Keep Your House & Identity Safe

Darkened houses, stuffed mailboxes, newspapers stacked on the driveway and lack of house traffic are tell-tale signs for thieves that nobody is home.

Don't let your house get robbed or your identity and good credit stolen while you are away on vacation!

Help your Police Department prevent crime this holiday season by taking some simple precautions:
  • Make arrangements for your mail & newspapers
  • Remember, a stuffed mailbox is a good way for a thief to steal your identity.
  • Call the Post Office (843-883-3461) and arrange to have your mail delivery temporarily suspended.
  • Call your local newspaper carriers to temporarily suspend newspaper delivery. OR.........  
  • Have a trusted friend collect your mail and newspapers each day.
  • Register for the SI Police House Watch Call either the office at (843) 883-9636 or Dispatcher at (843) 883-3931 to sign up.
  • Advise the Sullivan's Island Police Department of your travel schedule and any anticipated house guests during your absence. Patrol officers will keep your house under police watch.
  • Notify your neighbors of your plans and any planned house guests during your absence.
  • Put your house lights (interior and exterior) on a timer to give the appearance someone is home.
Happy, Safe Holidays
From Your
Police Department
