HOA-managed subdivisions
Established neighborhoods with covenants, shared amenities, and a board that already meets regularly — the most common starting point here.
Safe Neighborhoods Program in Mount Pleasant, SC
Mount Pleasant is largely made up of planned subdivisions with active associations, which makes organizing straightforward. A board, a management company, or a group of residents can register the community and review what participation involves.
The Totality Secure™ Safe Neighborhoods Program™ is a voluntary, subscription-based program for residential communities in Charleston County. Communities that subscribe gain exclusive access to their Community Secure Score™ reports.
Community types in Mount Pleasant
The program is organized around whatever structure your neighborhood already uses.
Newer master-planned communities

Smaller associations sharing parking, lighting, and pedestrian access across a compact footprint.
Getting started in Mount Pleasant
- Board-run communities can raise the program at a scheduled meeting; the registration form gives your contact everything needed to prepare.
- Communities without an association are welcome — a resident organizer can register on the neighborhood's behalf.
- Participation is voluntary and neighborhood-wide, so no individual household is enrolled on its own.
What happens after you register
- Submit your neighborhood details through the registration form.
- A program contact follows up by email with what participation involves.
- If your community subscribes, it moves through the program’s Discover to Maintain process and receives its Community Secure Score™ reports.
Participation is voluntary. Registration does not guarantee program acceptance, and the program does not guarantee crime reduction, insurance savings, property value increases, or any specific security outcome. It does not replace local law enforcement or emergency services — always call 911 in an emergency.
Mount Pleasant questions
Do we need HOA approval to register a Mount Pleasant neighborhood?
You do not need approval to register — registration only opens a conversation. If your community has an HOA, involving the board early is usually the fastest path to a decision.
Can a builder or developer register a community that is still being built?
Yes. Builders and developers can register a phased or newly completed community and discuss how participation would work as residents move in.
Is there a cost to register?
No. Registration is free and does not commit your community to anything. Voluntary subscription options are discussed afterward with a program contact.
