The South Carolina Commission on Prosecution Coordination (SCCPC) is a state agency of South Carolina and a criminal justice partner that serves the South Carolina’s 16 Judicial Circuit Solicitors and their offices.

The SCCPC is governed by Sections 1‐7‐910 through 1‐7‐1000 of the South Carolina Code of Laws.

Additionally, the SCCPC gathers and reports criminal justice data from the Circuit Solicitors, distributes loan forgiveness awards through the John R.
