Newberry County Council had the pleasure of recognizing two Newberry County Sheriff’s Office employees this month for their dedicated years of service to Newberry County.
First, Chase Goodwin (not pictured) was recognized for 5 years of service with the NCSO.
County Administrator Ted Luckadoo shared the following about Chase:
“Chase began his employment with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy in the Patrol Division and was later promoted to his current position as sergeant on night shift. I understand from Sheriff Lee Foster and his management team that Chase is very intelligent and witty and a high performer. He has great ideas and stays in a mode of ‘constant improvement’ – always looking for ways to improve as a law enforcement officer and coming up with ideas to improve the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office.”
Next, Haley Gantt was recognized for 10 years of service to the NCSO.
County Administrator Ted Luckadoo had this to say about Haley:
“Haley began her employment with the county as an officer in Newberry County Animal Control. In September, she joined the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office as a Class-3 deputy. She focuses on supporting the vast information technology resources of the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office. I know from talking with Sheriff Lee Foster and his command staff how great of an addition Haley has been to the department. Not only does she perform quality work and complete her assignments on time; she also has a good sense of humor, which her colleagues appreciate.”
Congratulations to both Chase and Haley and thank you for your continued service and dedication to our community.

At the most recent Newberry County Council meeting, Hazmat Station 12, Prosperity Fire Station 2, and Prosperity Rescue Station 17 were recognized as part of a longstanding tradition to highlight our volunteer departments and the vital services they provide to our community.
Emergency Services Coordinator Brandon Wicker recognized Hazmat Station 12, noting the department has 11 members, with eight certified at the Technician Level and three certified at the Operations Level. The team meets monthly for training and equipment testing and responded to eight calls in 2025. Mr. Wicker noted that responders often do not know what type of hazards they may encounter when responding to a call.
The Prosperity Rescue Squad, established in 1963, currently consists of approximately 20 members, including First Responders, EMTs, and Paramedics. The squad responds to an average of 150–200 calls each year, provides support for local events, and hosts the Newberry County Dive Team, which maintains strong working relationships with surrounding agencies.
Prosperity Fire Department Chief Robert Dennis highlighted the history of Prosperity Fire Station 2, noting that two members have served the department for more than 50 years. In 2025, the station responded to 218 calls.
