Cherokee Sheriff's Office Receives Gang Grant
Published Feb 19, 2008
Sheriff Roger Garrison
Sheriff Roger Garrison plans to hire three new deputy sheriffs to investigate illegal gangs in Cherokee County. Funding for these officers is made possible through a $122,800.00 federal grant awarded to the sheriff’s office for gang investigations. The three deputies will be assigned to the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad (CMANS).
“These deputies will be assigned to CMANS because individuals associated with gangs are often involved in illegal drugs as well, stated Garrison. "Gang investigations will be a valuable component to CMANS and enhance our drug fighting capabilities while identifying gang operations in Cherokee County”.
