About Our Chapter
Brotherhood for the Fallen – South Carolina
The Brotherhood for the Fallen South Carolina is a non-profit organization that honorably supports the families and communities of fallen officers across the United States.
Since these brave heroes have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, our mission is to provide support to their families, departments, and communities. Through membership dues and generous community partner donations, we are able to send two Brotherhood members, in full dress blues uniforms to the locations across this great country where an officer has been murdered in the line of duty.
Headquartered in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, we are honored to be in partnership with the Horry County Sheriff’s Office, and proudly supporting the local law enforcement community in South Carolina.

Our efforts to honor our fallen law enforcement heroes are 100% funded by your membership and donations.

Meet Our Team
Dean DiBitonto, President
I served 22 years with the New York City Police Department. In that time, I had assignments at the following commands: 105, 46, 50, and 110 precincts. I retired out of traffic operations in 2017 and made the decision to move to the coast of South Carolina. Though my job was done, I found myself drawn back to support our brothers and sisters in blue. I founded the Horry / Georgetown chapter as a direct effort to continue my mission of helping to honor our fallen brothers and sisters. Together, we will support these families, just as I know they would support mine.
Joseph Starkey, Vice President
I currently just started my 13th year in Law Enforcement. I started back in 2009
dispatching and eventually went full time as a Sheriff’s Deputy in Hocking County Ohio. I spent nearly six years with the county before moving to Myrtle Beach, SC. I have been with the Myrtle Beach Police Department for nearly six years now. Over my Career, I have spent 4 years in investigations, 2 years on a crime saturation team and the rest on night shift. I experienced my first line of duty death shortly after I went full time with the county and truly realized how big the Law Enforcement family is. When I first encountered the Brotherhood a few years ago at an event I was able to see the impact that can be made and I was all in.
Michelle Morrison, Treasurer
Cody Kolb, Secretary
I moved to the Myrtle Beach area about 5 years ago from New Jersey to pursue my dreams of becoming a police officer. Since getting on the job I have had the opportunity to meet amazing people and officers from around the nation. After learning about this organization, I knew I had to join and do my part to continue to move it forward. It is my greatest honor to work hard for the families of our fallen brothers and sisters.
