June 2, 2026
Serve & Connect, a Carolina-based nonprofit that aims to foster positive change through police-community partnerships, is announcing a new board chair and two board members joining the team.

During her 28 years of service, the positions she filled have provided her the opportunity to serve the Myrtle Beach community from the Waterfront to Street Crimes, Narcotics, Patrol, Regulatory and several others.
“I am honored to serve as the Chair of Serve & Connect this year. This organization is a true blessing for law enforcement and for communities across South Carolina and beyond—bringing officers and residents together, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful change in the lives of those we serve. In the year ahead, we look forward to supporting our partners, serving our communities, and expanding our reach so that strong connections continue to drive real, lasting impact. I have one ask as Board Chair: if you want to truly understand the need for strong support between law enforcement and our communities, take the time to learn who we are—our organization, our founder, and the partners already doing this work every day. That understanding is how we grow stronger together and keep our focus where it belongs: on people,” Retired Chief Amy Prock
Bryant Davis currently serves as the Chief Diversity Officer for the City of Greenville. Previously, he served as the Assistant Director of Government and Community Services for Richland County. Davis has also served on several community boards, including United Way of Greenville County and Homeless No More.

Prior to his economic development career, he spent approximately eight years in manufacturing, focusing on industrial engineering and quality assurance.
In addition, we’d like to highlight our board members and their recent office changes. We would like to thank our now Immediate Past Chair, Rick Jiran. He was instrumental in our development and we are so grateful for all of his hard work. He will remain on as a board member.
