Denmark Tech Adds 20-Year Law Enforcement Veteran Tamie Williams as Public Safety Officer

Tamie Williams brought more than two decades of law enforcement experience to Denmark Technical College when she joined the institution as a public safety officer, the college announced via its official Instagram account.

Williams's credentials set her apart from a typical campus safety hire. Her criminal justice degree, earned summa cum laude, pairs academic distinction with the kind of street-level experience that comes only from 20-plus years working in law enforcement. That combination is increasingly rare in campus public safety, where institutions often struggle to recruit officers who hold both formal credentials and deep operational backgrounds.

Denmark Technical College, the two-year historically Black institution serving Bamberg County and the broader Orangeburg-area region, made the hire public through a social media post welcoming Williams to the campus community. The post noted that she "brings more than two decades of experience in law," framing her arrival as a meaningful addition to the college's safety infrastructure.

The public safety officer role at Denmark Tech places Williams at the center of campus security operations, responsible for the safety of students, faculty, and staff across the Denmark campus. The college has not released a detailed job description or a statement from institutional leadership explaining the specific scope of her duties or whether the position was newly created or a replacement hire.

No start date was included in the college's announcement, and Williams has not yet made any public statements about her new role or the law enforcement career she carried into it.
