Darlington County, SC – Law enforcement will be out in force this weekend as Darlington County prepares for a large drag racing event, officials announced Friday.
According to Sheriff Michael August, the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office, along with state and local agencies, will increase patrols and strictly enforce all traffic and public safety laws throughout the county. The heightened presence aims to ensure the safety of both residents and visitors as crowds gather near the drag strip.
“The primary objective is to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents and visitors,” Sheriff August said in a public notice. He added that while the department supports community events, it expects full compliance with the law.
Deputies will have zero tolerance for unsafe driving, illegal racing, or reckless behavior on public roads. Drivers are reminded to “keep it on the track — not on our streets,” according to the statement.
The Sheriff’s Office encourages participants to enjoy the weekend responsibly and report any suspicious or dangerous activity to local authorities.
