Spartanburg PD Builds Trust on Front Porches | Greenville News

Spartanburg PD is bringing morning roll calls to your front porch—yes, really. Officers are stepping out of the station and into neighborhoods for “Front Porch Roll Calls,” a grassroots effort to build trust before trouble strikes. It’s casual, community-focused, and designed to turn strangers into neighbors. Captain Tim Suber says this isn’t new—it’s proven elsewhere—but here, it’s making waves. Residents like Virginia Painter say seeing officers in their yards, not just on patrol, is already changing things. Officers still check gear and get assignments, but now they’re doing it with smiles and small talk. Future spots? Based on crime data and where connection matters most.
