Ceremonies honor slain officers
Slain police officer Terrence Carraway of Darlington was inducted into the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Hall of Fame during ceremonies May 1 in Columbia.
Carraway, who worked for the Florence Police Department, and Florence County Investigator Farrah Turner both joined the Hall of Fame.
Both were killed in October during an ambush on police officers in Florence County.
Also, Carraway and Turner were honored last week by the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy in Columbia.
Last month, plans were announced for a Darlington park to honor Carraway.
The Terrence Carraway Fallen Officers Memorial Park will include a monument engraved with the names of all S.C. law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
And the Florence Police Department is accepting applications for the Sgt. Terrence Carraway Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship was established in January to “honor the life of Sgt. Terrence Carraway” and also to “continue his passion for the advancement of youth in the Florence and Darlington communities.”
The scholarship is need-based, awarded annually to one recipient from Florence County School District high schools and one from Darlington County School District high schools.
The application deadline for the scholarship is May 24. Applications can be sent to Florence Police Fund, 324 W. Evans St., Florence, SC 29501.
