The council approved a resolution allowing the Greer Police Department to wear a commemorative 150th-anniversary badge throughout 2026.
Chief Matt Hamby showed a reproduction of an early 20th-century badge recovered from a community member and explained the department would wear the reproduction from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2026, as part of the Greer 150 recognition. The chief said the badge includes the historical spelling "Greer's" to honor the city's history, and staff found no statutory requirement that a law-enforcement badge must display specific elements. The council voted to receive and approve the resolution.
