MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – After less than four months on the job, Moncks Corner Police Chief David Brabham, Jr. is resigning, citing medication reasons, according to town officials.
“We are sorry to see Chief Brabham go. Even in his short tenure with the town we could see that he was focused on improving the department for our community and for the officers with whom he served. This had to be a difficult decision for him, and we certainly wish him the best,” Mayor Michael Lockliear said in a news release.
While his time at the police department has been brief, town officials said Brabham had worked to improve officer retention and recruitment while enhancing services provided to our citizens by expanding special duty assignments.
