Greer, South Carolina, is actively enhancing public safety in response to recent events and the city’s rapid growth. A key part of this effort is the construction of a new $17 million Public Safety Training Center on Hood Road, scheduled for completion in spring 2026. This state-of-the-art facility will provide the Greer Police and Fire Departments with dedicated space for training, including a 50-yard indoor shooting range with advanced safety features, flexible seminar rooms, classrooms, and a fire training tower.
The new training center will allow more frequent and flexible training opportunities, replacing reliance on external facilities. Greer’s leadership emphasizes that this project represents a strong commitment to equipping first responders with the best resources, knowledge, and training to serve the community effectively. Additionally, plans include a new suburban fire station to support growing areas and upgrades to infrastructure that support overall safety efforts.
Alongside infrastructure improvements, Greer is participating in statewide programs targeting traffic safety enforcement and DUI prevention, backed by grants to enhance law enforcement capacity. Overall, these initiatives demonstrate Greer’s comprehensive approach to improving public safety through infrastructure, training, and community-focused enforcement strategies.
