NCPD officers recognized for investigation into child sexual abuse material
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) is congratulating M.P.O. Clifford Doorley, P.F.C. Jenna Helberg, P.F.C. Lucas Searles, and Ptl. Carlton Bing for being awarded Certificates of Recognition for their “outstanding work on a child sexual abuse material (CSAM) investigation.”
On May 19, 2026, NCPD officers made contact with an individual regarding a complaint involving a “possible voyeurism-related offense at a local business.” Through a detailed examination of the defendant’s phone, investigators found that the defendant knowingly possessed 56 videos depicting minors and prepubescent minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Investigators identified and confirmed the defendant’s home and place of employment and developed a comprehensive operational plan to arrest the suspect while preserving additional evidence.
On June 25, the Special Operations Intelligence Unit (S.O.I.U.) arrested the defendant at his place of employment and a residential search warrant resulted in the seizure of several electronic devices for further examination. NCPD says the investigation remains ongoing.
“What began as a relatively routine complaint involving an allegation of unlawful recording evolved into a significant child exploitation investigation because of the team’s keen investigative instincts, attention to detail, and refusal to overlook evidence of more serious criminal activity,” NCPD said.
“Congratulations to M.P.O. Doorley, P.F.C. Helberg, P.F.C. Searles, and Ptl. Bing on this well-deserved recognition.”
Well done, officers!
