It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of former Chief of the Cayce Public Safety Department, A.G. Dantzler, passed away on January 10, 2026.

Chief Dantzler began working with the Cayce Department of Public Safety in 1959. After his retirement in 1998, Dantzler served as a Cayce volunteer fireman and as a commissioner for the Cayce Historical Museum.

Cayce’s Police and Fire buildings bare the name of A.G. Dantzler. He was inducted into SC Law Enforcement Hall of Fame in 2023. In May of 2024, the City of Cayce presented Dantzler with the Key to the City for his many years of dedication to public safety and his love for the Cayce community.

Please join our city in remembering and honoring Chief Dantzler as we also keep his wife of more than 60 years, Mrs Barbara, his family and many friends in our thoughts, prayers and hearts.

Services for Chief Dantzler will be held at Trinity Baptist Church on Friday, January 16 at 2:00 pm.

Thank you, Chief Dantzler, for your years of service to our city and our citizens. Rest in peace
