"As to whether or not the person driving or who owned the vehicle is a celebrity on TV doesn’t make a difference to us," a Berkeley County police source told RadarOnline.com.
"What matters to us is that the person responsible is brought to justice but more importantly, that the deputy sheriff fully recovers from their injuries," the source added.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the hit-and-run incident came at an already difficult time for the 32-year-old reality TV star.
Dennis remains embroiled in a custody battle with her ex-boyfriend, Thomas Ravenel.
It is currently unclear whether Dennis was in the vehicle at the time of the hit-and-run.
Ravenel filed for sole custody of their children, Kensington and Saint, and recently requested supervised visitation rights for his ex.
Dennis lost custody of the children earlier this year after she “failed multiple drug tests.” A South Carolina judge granted Ravenel full custody of the kids in February and cited the Southern Charm star’s suspected drug abuse.

Ravenel consistently claimed that Kathryn engaged in drug abuse and neglect, although Dennis denied his allegations.
Ravenel also alleged that Dennis left the children home alone and failed to get them to school on time on several occasions. He cited the alleged evidence of neglect and the children's progress while in his care as grounds for gaining sole custody.
Dennis was fired from "Southern Charm" earlier this year after eight seasons on the show.
The Southern Charm star currently has supervised visitation rights with the children every other weekend.
Despite the reality TV star denying the allegations of substance abuse and neglect, her ex was recently granted custody based on the evidence presented.
The situation remains under investigation after the alleged hit-and-run incident on Friday, and no charges have been brought against Dennis at this time.
The incident on Friday also came after Dennis was fired from Southern Charm after eight seasons due to her "treatment of the crew" and for being "regularly late" on set.
