The South Carolina Department of Public Safety has announced the death of Officer Mark Reynolds, according to the report. Reynolds joined the South Carolina State Transport Police in 2022 after a long career as a firefighter and professional truck driver.
His death marks the first line-of-duty death for the State Transport Police since its establishment in 1993 as a division of the SCDPS, according to the report.
“The death of Officer First Class Reynolds is a profound loss, not only for the state transport police, but the entire Department of Public Safety,” said SCDPS Director Robert G. Woods, IV. “We are all hugging our families a little closer tonight and praying for Mark’s wife, children, friends and loved ones who are left reeling from this sudden loss.”
STP Colonel Dwayne Wilson echoed the sentiment, noting Reynolds’ dedication and character.
“Today is a very sad day for the state transport police. For anyone who knew Mark personally, he was well-liked, respected and extremely dependable. He was committed to his job and lived a life of service to the state through his years as a firefighter and, most recently, as one of our officers. He will be greatly missed.”
