Statement from the Chief
Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Cayce Police Department’s page.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your Chief of Police for the City of Cayce. With over 25 years of law enforcement experience, including time as a major crime investigator, division captain, and assistant chief, I bring a career rooted in integrity, accountability, and a deep commitment to public service.
Since accepting the role of Chief in April 2025, my top priorities have been building trust, ensuring public safety, and strengthening the bond between our department and the community we proudly serve. With a dedicated team of 54 sworn officers, 16 civilian employees, and 5 K9s, including our beloved therapy dog Hudson, we are committed to providing professional, compassionate, and responsive policing to all members of our community.
At the heart of our mission is community policing. We believe the most effective way to address crime and improve quality of life is by working together with residents, businesses, and local organizations. Through open communication, transparency, and proactive outreach, we strive to build strong, lasting partnerships based on mutual respect.
We also believe in data-driven approaches to public safety. By analyzing trends and using evidence-based strategies, we are better equipped to allocate resources effectively and implement solutions that make a real difference.
Cayce is a special place, and I am proud to lead a department that reflects the values, diversity, and resilience of this city. I look forward to continuing our efforts to keep Cayce a safe, thriving, and united community.
Respectfully,
Bruce Wade
Chief of Police
City of Cayce, South Carolina
