A Message from the Sheriff
Welcome to the Horry County Sheriff's Office website. I hope that you find the information we have provided to be useful and easy to locate.
Our staff is working hard to offer the insight we believe you most desire to have into your community, your County, and your Sheriff's Office. Each member of our staff understands that we are here to assist with your needs and ensure that your experience in Horry County, whether you are a guest or resident, is as enjoyable and safe as possible.
I am proud to be the Sheriff of Horry County and I am extremely proud of the fine men and women of this Office who dedicate themselves to serving our citizens with a professional approach and a positive attitude.
While I am proud of this website, I am also an "old-fashioned" kind of guy who believes the convenience of e-mail and the internet should never replace the personal touch that can be felt during a telephone call or a friendly office visit. For that reason, we have provided our telephone number with our office address and welcome you to call or stop by at any time.
Sheriff Phillip E. Thompson
