@theSCDPS Our prayers are with the Ricks family and SCHP.

It is with deep sadness that SCDPS announces the loss of one of our own, Trooper First Class Dennis D. Ricks. TFC Ricks passed away Wednesday night, nearly four days after being hit by a vehicle while performing a traffic stop in Orangeburg County. A graduate of SCHP Class 123 in September 2023, Ricks has proudly served in Troop 7 (Orangeburg, Calhoun) since then. This is a devastating loss for his family, for those who worked alongside him in Troop Seven and the entire Highway Patrol and DPS family. Our deepest condolences go to his wife and family as they navigate this immense loss. More information will be provided on social media, our website scdps.sc.gov and through media notices.
