Sheriff-Loftis-Head-ShotSteve Loftis will seek a third four-year term as Greenville County Sheriff.

“Today, Greenville County is a safer place to live, work and raise a family. The time it takes for us to respond to a priority call has been cut in half. Violent crime is down by more than 10% and robberies, auto thefts and burglaries are all down as well. Last year, we seized more than 500 pounds of drugs worth more than $4 million. We led the state in DUI arrests last year, which helped reduce the number of traffic-related fatalities.

“We are careful stewards of the taxpayers’ money and last year our office returned more than $1.2 million to the county. We have the lowest administrative costs in the state for a Sheriff’s office of our size, which shows how wisely we are managing our resources.

“I am committed to protecting all the citizens of Greenville County efficiently and effectively and in a manner that reflects the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and integrity. It is an honor and privilege to serve as your sheriff, and I respectfully ask you to trust me with another term,” said Loftis.

Loftis has been with the Sheriff’s Office for 34 years. He was elected in 2003 to fill the unexpired term of Sam Simmons. He won full four-year terms in 2004 and 2008.
