STATE SWEEP FINDINGS — South Carolina (SC)
About this document
SC has moderate CCM density with 3 confirmed agencies and one critical opt-out story. SC has NO sanctuary policies (HB 4373, anti-sanctuary law, 2024). CCM CONFIRMED: (1) Darlington County SO — integrated via Southern Software RMS; press release falsely claimed LexisNexis 'does not sell data to third parties,' directly contradicting PSDEX addendum. (2) Columbia PD — confirmed CCM since at least Oct 2017. (3) Greenville County SO — confirmed CCM user, then OPTED OUT May 2025 citing 'concerns the platform was revealing sensitive information' (Fox Carolina, Nov 2025). The opt-out reason is a key investigative thread: what sensitive data was CCM exposing? NEGATIVE: Charleston PD (own GIS/PDI open data portal, not LexisNexis). SC Public Records: FOIA Act (S.C. Code § 30-4-10), 10 business days. Southern Software = key RMS integration vector for other SC county sheriffs.
